Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Infiltrator (2016)

Cranston plays Robert Mazur, a real-life Customs Official who got in deep with the Escobar drug cartel by offering money laundering services on a large scale. It's a solid movie with some decent thrills and flawless acting, but it came to far less than the sum of its parts. I never truly felt the danger, e.g. the biggest issue for Mazur and his pretend fiancé seemed to be that they were feeling bad about tricking their good "friends" the Alcainos, who were upper management in the cartel.

Basically: fine.
