Incoherent, depressing mess
Past film adaptations of Bret Easton Ellis novels have been well received. So, with Ellis on board as screenwriter, you could see where stars like Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Mickey Rourke and Winona Ryder would have been attracted to The Informers. Unfortunately for all involved, including Ellis who would pretty much disown the movie after its release, the script was handed to director Gregor Jordan. And Jordan made a complete mess of it. He wanted to take things in a darker direction. Well, he succeeded in making it dark. He didn’t succeed in anything else. He ended up making a truly awful movie.

The film unfolds in early 1980s Los Angeles. It’s a sex, drugs and rock and roll story. For brevity’s sake, let’s just say that everyone is sleeping with everyone else. That’s pretty much accurate. It’s an ensemble piece with a whole bunch of characters, none of whom you actually end up caring about. All these characters have their own stories which are in some cases loosely intertwined, in some cases not intertwined at all and thus ultimately pointless. Thornton and Basinger just mail in their performances, they’re totally lifeless. Rourke’s character is a waste of time, he’s only in one of those completely pointless subplots. Ryder really has only a bit part. These older stars may draw the attention but the film’s story focuses more on the younger generation. Nobody in this younger crowd stands out as being particularly interesting, none of the performances rise above the mundane. They have some sex, then we cut back to one of the other story lines, then we come back to them again and they have more sex. If nothing else at least Amber Heard, playing a young woman who gets passed around like a used handkerchief, looks spectacular. So there’s that.

The only character who comes across as truly sympathetic is a young doorman, Jack, played by Brad Renfro. If any performer comes away from this film with any credit at all it’s Renfro, playing a guy struggling to deal with the shady doings of his uncle, the Rourke character. Unfortunately Renfro’s performance largely goes for naught as this story really doesn’t tie into the main plot at all. Honestly though saying this film has a main plot is probably giving it too much credit. There is no real story tying this thing together. Too much time is wasted on characters who serve no purpose. There’s a drugged-out rock singer who likes to sleep with young girls. There’s a guy on the world’s most awkward vacation in Hawaii with his dad. What do these characters have to do with anything? Nothing. Nothing at all. The film is just a jumbled, largely incoherent, mess. And then it just ends. No resolution. All these stories, no endings. On the one hand you’re grateful it’s over because you certainly don’t want to watch this film any longer. On the other hand you’re left feeling insulted that you wasted any time at all watching this pointless film which was ultimately going nowhere.
