DRUG CARTEL TALES CLASSICS

Picture
Next Wednesday, July 13th, Broad Green Pictures will release the hotly anticipated The Infiltrator, starring Bryan Cranston, John Leguizamo, Diane Kruger, Amy Ryan, and Benjamin Bratt. Based on a true story, U.S. Customs agent ROBERT “BOB” MAZUR (Bryan Cranston) goes deep undercover to infiltrate Pablo Escobar’s blood-soaked drug trafficking scene plaguing the nation in 1985 by posing as slick, money-laundering businessman Bob Musella. Navigating a vicious criminal network in which the slightest slip-up could cost him his life, Mazur risks it all building a case that leads to indictments of 85 drug lords and the corrupt bankers who cleaned their dirty money, along with the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, one of the largest money-laundering banks in the world.
​Over the years, Hollywood has featured tales of drug cartels and drug lords in countless classic films. 

HERE ARE SOME OF the most fascinating performances by actors
​who have portrayed drug lords.
