	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Cranston changes his character from regular Joe to raging psycho - and you believe it utterly. He's extraordinary. Too bad the movie settles for being same old/same old (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Joe Dziemianowicz New York Daily News	"The movie rises thanks to an ace in the hole: Bryan Cranston, whose stirring star turn hooks us completely. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Cranston's ace performance holds this mixed bag together."	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Bryan Cranston gets a film role worthy of his ability to break bad in a tensely exciting true-life drama of undercover drug agents."	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"'The Infiltrator' is (...) a good yarn that, when it catches its breath, allows Mr. Cranston to convey the same ambivalence and cunning he brought to 'Breaking Bad' and 'All the Way'."	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A moderately engaging thriller that coasts along without ever evolving into the more riveting character study it has the potential to be"	NEU
United States	Stephanie Merry The Washington Post	"Something's missing. Although the movie is tense, it's not the white-knuckle experience you might expect (...) It’s nevertheless a worthwhile examination of the intricacies of undercover life"	POS
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"How can a blood-soaked crime story take all the elements of classic neo-noir thrillers and become a perfect storm of tedium? (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Claudia Puig The Wrap	"At times, The Infiltrator feels like a movie we’ve seen before, but deft performances and Furman’s sharp sense of the era transform it into an engrossing drama"	POS
