The Infiltrator on Amazon - Blues was there IRL...

I dunno, the unrealistic 30 seconds we got of him was probably a lot more enjoyable to watch than Tom Cruise in another lame hurr hurr action movie

I should be insulted that Tom Cruise's name would even end up in this thread.

But if we get to see more airplanes being crash landed, I am in....

There was no reason for him to have been in this one, to be honest.

There was probably more that ended up being edited out, cause it was just a bit apearance.

Watched the movie with my wife on Tuesday night. Incredible story, incredible outcome. Mad respect and my sincere gratitude to those who courageously, quietly, and selflessly put it on the line.

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie today.
Crashed out on the couch, ribs on the smoker, vodka rocks, Cranston rolling up bad guys.

Gonna give Sneaky Pete a go next.

Late to the party as usual, I watched it yesterday. It was on the list I keep of movies/shows that someone has recommended at some point, with a note about who recommended. So Infiltrator movie - Blues (who had some involvement).

Great flick. Enjoyed reading this thread again just now more than the first time. Downloaded the book and will read it in due course. @blues, you need to write a book. NFW I wouldn’t have contrived some operational necessity for consummating the relationship with Diane Kruger.

It was a fun ride, some of the time.

What was the ratio, out of interest?

Impossible to say. I had a lot of fun, and worked some great cases, (mine and others), but I spent a lot of time in the principal's office. (Hard to believe, right? )

In the end, I'd not have traded it for something else, but the frustrations are real, some of the management and administrators brutal, (and that goes for three agencies I worked for, or with on multi-year assignment, over the course of a career)...but when you were on the scent during a complex investigation, or tracking and hunting down your targets, it was the only place I wanted to be.

I don't know how to quantify it. Like anything else, mostly highs, some lows, a few regrets along the way.

I get you. Fun some of the time, the rest of the time you just have to remember this motto: They pay us to do it, not to like it. Thanks for sticking it out (and hanging it out) for us.
