i’m doing all i can to help rosamund pay her rent but her agent’s gotta cut me a little slack
nathanApr 10, 2020Not as I was expected, but I can watch shirtless Joel Kinnaman with some blood on his face all day. 🙄
Vishwas Verma 🟠🟢🔵Mar 4, 2021Surprisingly good genre movie considering this has been in development hell for years since 2017, with production delays and the release date being moved 5 times, I expected this to be a beautiful disaster. A pretty entertaining thriller all things considering Great star…

Tensely rendered crime-thriller gets kind of caught up with all the entanglements that it gets plotty. Former special ops soldier turned ex-con, Pete Koslow, played by Joel Kinnaman, who’s an informant for the FBI assisting to take down the Polish mafia’s drug trade in New…

DanielSep 13, 2019Während der gesamten Lauflänge dieser uninteressanten und schon dutzendfach gesehenen Story um einen Undercover-Cop, der in eine Bande eingeschleust wird, konnte ich nur an eins denken: Ob es wohl irgendwo auf der Welt eine Verbrecherbande gibt, die ausschließlich aus…

i really don't understand how this has a 2.9 average rating, this was one of the best action movies i've seen in awhile.. i hope they make a sequel. also i love ana de armas sm (2019 - ranked)
oliviaNov 14, 2020A serviceable and mindless thriller that isn't that good but isn't horrible. But what a complete waste of Rosamund Pike's talent. And what the hell happened to Clive Owen's career?
Repo JackFeb 26, 2020A mildly entertaining crime thriller with a cast too good for its mediocre script.

This movie was interesting. I thought it was well done. It wasn’t completely life changing but I thought it was good. Apparently it’s based on a true story which is shocking. I liked this movie but I’m not in a rush to watch it again.
Sabrina Zhta lovedThe InformerI really liked this movies
Il Pigliasogni is "meh" onThe InformerIl Pigliasogni racconta che... Gli eventi di questo film precipitano in modo troppo veloce e non si riescono così a inquadrare da subito in modo ottimale la situazione e i personaggi. Necessiterebbe di più respiro. Pecca abbastanza l'assenza di un villain vero e proprio. Voto: 6

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!! OH MY GOD JOEL KINNAMAN IS MY FAVORITE ASHAHSBX Dude fr the acting was so good and the plot was amazing I didn’t understand what was really really happening until I got more info it
Scott Fausel is "meh" onThe InformerA few fun action elements, but otherwise sort of a waste of a good cast, including a fairly pointless role for the delightful Ana de Armas
Noah likedThe InformerWay better then I expected! Kept me guessing and intrigued the whole time and did not expect that twist a good pretty quick watch too

The climactic scenes when all hell breaks loose are gripping and enthralling, and in the midst of all the blood, sweat and tears, Joel Kinnaman is kicking ass and taking names in true action movie-star fashion.

For all The Informer lacks in surface style — shot and scored as it is in functional, straight-to-VOD fashion — it remains a surprisingly well-oiled genre machine.
