  • THE INFORMER (no spoilers)

    From moviePig@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 18 14:50:54 2021
    An unjustly convicted father is forced into a dangerous undercover role.
    THE INFORMER boasts a quality cast and two hours jam packed with plot ...barely enough time to engage with any of it. (From me, that's a most unusual complaint.) Nice production, somewhat recommended.

    A good movie, but a muddled mess at the same time. Joel Kinnaman has
    proven to be a great actor though.

    Yeah, he's a pretty good indicator of a watchable movie.

    What you may be calling 'muddled', I chalked up to adapting a 500-page crime-thriller novel (and maybe quite a good one) without knowing some
    of it should be discarded to give the rest on-screen room to breathe.

    The script should have been punched up so it wasn't like this.

    This dude Joel Kinnaman is super talented i love
    his act and his manly look.
