The Informers

The Informers is a limited release starring Jon Foster, with supporting roles from Mickey Rourke, Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, and Winona Ryder. To describe the movie, picture the movie Crash in terms of an interweaving group of characters, and then set it in the early 1980's. Then erase any and all plot...

It seems like they failed to include one. The movie was full of characters that were either scumbags, weirdos, or creeps. It never seemed to go anywhere. That doesn't mean there wasn't good acting, however the movie together was just, eh. They did do a good job, however, of keeping it set in the 80's with people not really aware of what AIDS was.

As I watched through this, I just waited for it to end. It had the makings of a decent movie, but it never went anywhere. That is probably why this movie never expanded to a full release.

I rate this movie 4.9 out of 10.
