The Informers (2008)

What a waste of my time!!!

People are voting emotionally.

Am I Missing Something?

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

In my opinion this movie is a decent piece for cinematography history!For 2008, $18,000,000 is a different amount money rather nowadays. How I understand most of them were paid for actors with big name and in my opinion they done a good job.1. A good actors play. You need just look at the list, watch the trailer and a 10-15 minutes of the movie.2. This movie touches different relationships and situations in our world. For example, situation between father and son, how rich kids live and communicate with each other, situations with divorce and marriage, love and hate, kidnapping situation with a doorman, etc......3. Movie basically about life in "One week in L.A. in 1983.....". Where we can see real life situations, kind of separate novels but have some connections. Verdict: For sure it is not something incredible, with some clichés and have some questionable nuances, but it's worth to watch some evening after hangover, crazy party or sleepless night. Maybe can answer for some questions or give you a food to think.

This meaningless film wallows in the sewer for its entire running time, then ends on an equally pointless and sour note. It's a bunch of dead end story threads about shallow, scum characters that don't engage the viewer on a single level. It's slips way past boring and into tedium watching these fools misbehave and talk gobbledygook about their drab, pathetic empty lives. The producers threw writer Nicholas Jarecki off the picture who was set to direct and replaced him with Gregor Jordan, who changed the script to suit his misdirected vision. Being fired from this production gave Jarecki's career a shot in the arm, when it freed him up to begin his directing effort Arbitrage, which is miles better than this garbage. Gregor Jordan on the other hand has moved on to straight to video and television productions, which is ample punishment for creating this soulless hack work.

You know, in the way it makes you feel.We've all felt ourselves tense up when watching Rocky punch the crap out of someone. And tear up when there's a dramatic farewell. Well films like The Informers make you feel numb as a way of experiencing the story you're watching. Then any wisp of real emotion is heightened to great significance.There are many films I believe have the same mood as The Informers:sex, lies and videotaperumble fish lost in translation Dancer in the dark(add more if you know any...)The Informers was interesting because every character was a turd, in one way or another and you were meant not to like them. Plus, the ending of the film comes as a tiny subtle shock to the numb feeling you've been letting wash over you for the last hour and a half. When I tried to tell the ending to a friend of mine who hadn't seen the film, they thought it was really sick.The film does deserve praise for the way it looks. The visuals and use of music make a believable but not garish 1980's.

I am only 43 years old and have only seen about 6,000 movies in my lifetime (figuring an average of 200 movies per year for 30 years). This movie is the worst one I have ever watched. I watched a B-movie about Zombie Nazi's fighting the same battle every night one time that was better than the Informers, at least it had a plot. This movie was so terribly edited (the acting wasn't bad at all, just senseless storyline) that it spurred me to write this review. If I can help prevent only one person from wasting two hours of their life on this movie then it will have been worth writing the review. On the other hand, if you like movies with no plot about uninteresting people then this one would be a winner in your book. The Informers is every bit as lame as the 1980's.
