Critics' reviews

"The movie rises thanks to an ace in the hole: Bryan Cranston, whose stirring star turn hooks us completely. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of five)"

Joe Dziemianowicz: New York Daily News
"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)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"Cranston's ace performance holds this mixed bag together."

Sheri Linden: The Hollywood Reporter
"Bryan Cranston gets a film role worthy of his ability to break bad in a tensely exciting true-life drama of undercover drug agents."

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"'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'."

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
"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"

Stephanie Merry: The Washington Post
"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)"

Colin Covert: Minneapolis Star Tribune
