The Informers, a Bret Easton Ellis and Nicholas Jarecki script directed by Gregor Jordan, is a weak B-movie. Ellis, writer of the amazing Rules of Attraction failed on this adaptation of his wack book depicting 80’s excess and vampires. A great cast was assembled for this film including Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Winona Ryder, Mickey Rourke, Jon Foster and Amber Heard but despite great acting performances they could not save me from boredom. Jordan definitely plays up the sex and drugs with lots of nudity, sex, threesomes, pot and blow. The film shows no shame baring everything for the audience, including homoerotic relationships among friends and the onset of the great 80’s culture issues of AIDS and addiction. (more…)
