It's by far the most slack, ho-hum movie ever made from Ellis' material.

Gorgeous people and some well written dialogue aren't enough to make this a movie you should see.

This just felt like a bunch of people in 1980s L.A. with blonde streaks in their hair listening to Wang Chung.

We may not care about these cokeheads, but only rarely does Jordan fall into knee-jerk retribution.

Rating less than zero on the sophistication scale, The Informers is thus a totally faithful adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' novel--and an accurate look at early '80s-era Los Angeles.
