Bad’s Bryan Cranston again up to his neck in the drug trade. This time, however, he’s on the right side of the law as a straight-arrow US customs agent who poses as a sleazy, money-laundering businessman to infiltrate Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar’s network in the 1980s. John Leguizamo’s livewire customs sidekick provides tense moments, even if the movie’s tone is slightly erratic. That said, Cranston is superb, helped by a strong supporting cast.
