Having gained experience in "Operation Argo", Bryan Cranston decided not to stop there and went to special agents. As a result, the film Undercover Scam (2016) turned out to be dynamic, attractive and exciting, while watching the viewer will repeatedly have to worry about the main character and his family and friends. The project was directed by Brad Fuhrman and based on the memoirs of Robert Mazur.
Storyline
Events develop in the 80s of the XX century. Experienced operative Robert Mazur (B. Cranston), after the failure of the last special operation, is going to a well-deserved rest. At this time, his partner Emir (D. Leguizamo) gets the opportunity to contact the bosses of the Colombian drug cartel, and maybe even get close to the infamous Pablo Escobar.
Police Chief Bonnie Tishler (E. Ryan) unfolds a large-scale operation, so Masur has to reincarnate again as a fictitious banker Bob Musella, with a living wife and children, lead a fake, but spectacularbride Katie (D. Kruger). The marriage ceremony must be attended by influential people directly connected with the drug business.
Stamped Dilemma
Brad Fuhrman's work can be compared to an incendiary cocktail from The Godfather, Narcos, Operation Argo, and the presence of Bryan Cranston in Undercover Affair brings to mind the cult series Breaking Bad. There, the main character W alter White also pretended to be someone else. But, unlike the serial character, Mazur is a 100% protagonist with a stable moral core.
Nevertheless, Robert, like Cathy, is faced with a stamped dilemma. Having got to know the drug dealers better, they begin to see people in them, they even feel sympathy for some. This is not surprising, because how can you resist the charm of Roberto Alcaino if he is played by Benjamin Bratt, and the colorful Spaniard Elena Anaya acts as his wife? These actors of "Undercover Scam" are remembered from the first moment they appear on the screen.
Main advantage
The main find of the action-packed crime tape with elements of a thriller and interspersed with melodrama is the ensemble cast.
For lead actor Bryan Cranston, the role of Robert Mazur (Bob Mazella) has become one of the most important in the creative portfolio. In Furman's cinema, the winner of the Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe awards created an incredibly charismatic and attractive image. The performer is world famousafter Breaking Bad, previously worked on TV in the sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. In big cinema, he has gained recognition for his roles in the films Total Recall, Drive and Operation Argo.
Among the secondary actors of "Undercover Affair", John Leguizamo, who played Emir Abreu, is certainly in the lead. This is a wonderful character, the hero is simply bursting with crime. He looks like a gangster, he talks like a bandit, he also behaves like a seasoned illegal element. Sometimes it seems that the main goal, i.e. the fight against the drug mafia serves, rather, as an excuse for his way of life. As an undercover agent, he is irreplaceable. The actors of the Russian dubbing managed to accurately capture the mood of the hero, so the translation made it even more colorful.
Gorgeous Ensemble
No less spectacular images were created in the movie "Undercover Scam" by actors Diane Kruger and Joseph Gilgun. The German actress and ex-photo model, known for Troy, National Treasure and more, was extremely convincing as aspiring operative Katie Ertz. British actor Joseph Gilgun, who appeared in "Misfits" and "Preacher", is simply inimitable in the image of Dominic. Amy Ryan looked realistic as the tough police boss. It is necessary to note the appearance of Michael Pare in the image of Barry Force and the magnificent Olympia Dukakis, who played Aunt Vicki.
Such a brilliant ensemble gives the story an extraordinary charm, volume and appeal. In the tape with a timing of two hours, seven minutes, there is not a singleone unremarkably passing character.
The film veers off into entertainment at some points, but that doesn't detract in the slightest from the cast of Undercover Affair making each episode memorable.
