The Informers Red Band Trailer

An assemblage of character sketches toying with the author’s trademark excess and metrohedonism, anchored by comeback cases, The Informers is looking like the Cannonball Run of Bret Easton Ellis adaptations. If only the picture was shot, and not just set in the early eighties, we wouldn’t be finding names like Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke (before the month-old resurgence) on the wrong end of a couple decades worth of work. Then there’s Winona Ryder post-career-sullying, and tragically, Brad Renfro, post living-and-breathing.  There’s Billy Bob Thornton. Down the hall is Chris Isaak. Directed by Gregor Jordan, the trailer paints The Informers as the must-see mess of the new year.
