    MUMBAI: &Privé HD, the newest destination for nuanced cinema, is all set to bring the Indian television premiere of the movie, ‘The Infiltrator’ on 31st December at 1:00pm and 9:00pm. The film is directed by Brad Furman and stars acclaimed actor Bryan Cranston, Diane Kruger and John Leguizamo amongst others.

    The crime drama is based on the autobiography of the same name by Robert Mazur, a U.S. Customs special agent, who in the 1986 helped bring down the narcotics empire of infamous kingpin Pablo Escobar’s money-laundering organization. Despite specializing in deep undercover assignments, Mazur (Cranston) is faced with his most challenging assignment yet, as he goes undercover as a corrupt businessman alongside Kathy Ertz (Kruger) and Emir Abreu (Leguizamo) to bring down the notorious drug lord.

    Gripping and elevated by Cranston’s superb central performance, the film creates enthralling suspense on what undercover agents do while trying to keep their soul meticulously under wraps.

    ‘The Bridge’ draws to an end

    MUMBAI: The critically acclaimed crime series ‘The Bridge’ has drawn to its end. The show had detectives Sonya Cross(Diane Kruger) and Marco Ruiz(Demián Bichir) coming together after a grotesque sequence of events . The two stalwarts embarked on a thrilling chase when they traced the footprints of a notorious serial killer. The show stars Academy Award nominee Demian Bichir and multi award winning actress Diane Kruger as lead actors.

    When the body of an American judge is found on a bridge connecting El Paso, Texas, with Juárez, Mexico, the incident left tremors that shook both the countries. A serial killer is on the loose and the two detectives from radically different backgrounds and countries altogether, join hands to catch hold of him. As fierce opinion clashes between the two headstrong individuals occur, they need to put their differences aside for their quest for answers. They have to wade through a Mexican bureaucracy steeped in corruption and sinister Drug cartels with nefarious intentions in order to catch their culprit.

    The penultimate episode threw some major benders our way where we witnessed Sonia and Hank (Ted Levine) on the prowl as they go their separate ways following a truck exchange.

    The final episode promises shootouts, chases and intense action as the story draws near its fruition. The fate of Eleanour is also revealed when she confronts her depraved father. The thrilling end will be revealed in the finale episode on May 25 at 9 PM on FX.
