The Informers Ratings & Reviews
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
It was a series of randomness that don't really offer much information or contribute to the overall point.
Variety
Rob Nelson
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.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
It's by far the most slack, ho-hum movie ever made from Ellis' material.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The Informers is a movie so seamy it makes you want to take a bath afterward. Rarely has so much sin seemed so boring.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
This one's a certifiable soul-sucker, dining out on its characters' venalities while wagging a finger at the horror, the horror.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Gregor Jordan's pointless adaptation of a Bret Easton Ellis book is successful only in the sense that it accurately mimics the emptiness of its subject.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Repulsive 80s flashback.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The performances run the gamut from twitchy to catatonic, and the stoned stiffness of the actors seems to have less to do with the affectlessness of the characters than with their own confusion.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The Informers is such a wretched piece of garbage that there's a certain amount of guilt attached to even writing about it.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Ellis's big notions are less insightful than they pretend to be.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Has an air of detachment and sadness, enhanced by the movie's being set a full quarter century ago. Like new cars in an old movie, these people may glow with youth, but we watch them in full awareness of the beaters and wrecks they'll become.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Just because your characters are vacuous, less-than-zero types, it doesn't necessarily mean that the tone and structure of your movie has to adopt the same conditions.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Do some blow. Curse humanity. Convert to nilhilism. Reread American Psycho. But don't for the love of God and cinema see The Informers.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
It's a movie with Altmanesque pretensions, but under Gregor Jordan's flat-line direction amounts to flipping through an out-of-date fashion magazine, one that barely spurs the energy to point and laugh.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Ellis' book, though a grim read, had a satirical edge to it that made it darkly enjoyable; the movie is simply dark and dull. And vampireless, more's the pity.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The piece had better have something fresh to say. The Informers doesn't, nor does it seem to want to.
Washington Post
John Anderson
A nihilistic, narcissistic, knuckleheaded move about nihilistic, narcissistic knuckleheads, The Informers might have been an interesting exercise in satire, if it only had a sense of humor. Which it doesn't.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
The dialogue is laughable. Lines are spoken so languidly that the actors seem bored. Shattering revelations are delivered in the same monotone as casual patter.
AV Club
Noel Murray
The Informers should be more aware of its own unsavoryness, and revel in it a little. As it is, the movie is far too weighty, as though it were honestly trying to convey some kind of cautionary message.
