But the drug of choice here is acting, and the highs in this hurtling, often violent thriller are doubly intense, since two of its stars play flamboyant double roles.

Still, Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer) gives the whole picture a delightfully retro ‘80s vibe, capturing the seediness of South Florida and ratcheting up the tension: No matter how confident Mazur may appear while undercover, one small misstep could not only blow his cover but lead to a horrifyingly grisly death.

“The Infiltrator” is ultimately a solid, if not exceptional, Scorsese takeoff, one that has just enough spunk and wit to make up for its often-apparent shortcomings. It doesn’t quite pop, and it doesn’t necessarily sizzle, but it’s intelligent enough to stand beside its comparisons. For those looking for a decently-made, old-fashioned scuzzy crime drama, it should pass the test.

Robert is not a Shakespearean figure like Walter White, but the film at least grants him the moral stature of an incorruptible man risking his life in a dangerous job. The Infiltrator is still 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."

Mid-1980s, Florida. US Customs agent Robert Mazur (Bryan Cranston) specialises in deep undercover assignments, but his next gig — posing as a slick businessman, alongside Kathy Ertz (Diane Kruger) and Emir Abreu (John Leguizamo), in order to ensnare renowned Colombian drug lord/trafficker Pablo Escobar — may prove to be his most dangerous yet.

When the ending “where are they now” montage rattles them off, it’s only a reminder that we never really learned who any of these people were, or what exact crime things it was they each did. This is a bum hit of a film. Just watch Cocaine Cowboys again instead.
