The Infiltrator is the 2016 crime thriller starring Bryan Cranston as undercover federal agent Robert Mazur. Its 72% Rotten Tomatoes figure is the critics’ Tomatometer, not the audience score; the film’s reported Netflix Top 10 showing was a historical chart position from November 2024, not a current ranking.
What is The Infiltrator about?

Rotten Tomatoes’ film page and Apple TV’s title page identify the film and its cast.
What do the Rotten Tomatoes scores mean?
When checked on October 8, 2026, Rotten Tomatoes displayed a 72% Tomatometer from 179 critic reviews and a 71% Popcornmeter from more than 10,000 audience ratings. The scores measure different groups, and they can change as reviews and ratings are added. The 72% figure in the headline is the critics’ score, not the audience score. Rotten Tomatoes
Rotten Tomatoes’ Critics Consensus says: “The Infiltrator‘s compelling fact-based story and tremendously talented cast are often just enough to balance out its derivative narrative and occasionally clunky execution.” That assessment points to the film’s central appeal and reservation: a fact-based undercover story and strong cast, told through a crime-thriller approach that some critics found familiar.

Did The Infiltrator hit Netflix’s Top 10?
Yes, according to a Collider article by Adam Blevins, dated November 5, 2024, and relayed on IMDb: the film arrived on Netflix at the beginning of that month and reached No. 6 on the platform’s Top 10 movies chart. That is a reported 2024 chart result. It does not establish that The Infiltrator is in Netflix’s Top 10 now. IMDb’s page carrying the Collider report
