When a terrifying drug lord requires surgery after an assassination attempt, an infiltration specialist must terminate him, posing as a surgeon inside his fortified mansion, before he brings Venezuela into civil war.

An outgunned black ops solider must outwit a notorious drug lord and his army by posing as a renowned surgeon in order to kill him.
Since It's after a failed assassination of the SA's biggest drug lord, I doubt if his followers would be that careless at background checking, even a renowned surgeon.
Anyhow, It's unclear when the infiltration is happening, at what stage of the film? it's hard to imagine the span of action of the main character - even murder without a compelling reason - how long does it take to kill someone? in other words, the logline doesn't help us with what's happening in the second act.
I like the premise, his goal is singular but it needs to justify why we want him to win. Good Luck.
It sort of sounds like something they would do as a plot on an episode of the classic "Mission: Impossible" series in the late 60s and early 70s.
Of course, then it'd be a team effort, where they'd do a combination of cons and heists until the drug lord's own people thought he'd betrayed them and killed him for it. Rollin Hand (Martin Landau) would likely pose as a surgeon for a while, and even put on a rubber mask and pose as the drug lord.
I think the story should be more personal or at least have more stakes. What bad thing will happen if the black ops soldier fails?
