I really liked this movie, just enough amount of action a decent story line and well Joel Kinnaman that's always a plus point. I don't get why people are mad about the ending, i actually liked the ending, it's something new and fresh and not the normal ending you see in most movies. Although it's not the best movie i've seen if it's on Netflix i'll watch it again.

Good movie, keeps you entertained all the way to the end. If anyone takes away anything from this... NEVER trust the cops/crime boss/FBI to have your back. So basically keep your head down and stay out of trouble - especially if you're married to a gorgeous woman like Ana de Armas! 8/10

The Informer delivers on its promise of being a tense and well-constructed thriller, with Joel Kinnaman shining through his usual charisma and on-screen presence. While the story isn’t particularly original, it unfolds at a pace that keeps the viewer engaged, and the tension is skillfully maintained throughout.

Some plot twists may feel predictable, and the resolution could have been stronger, but the film stands out thanks to its dark atmosphere and the emotional complexity of the main character. Kinnaman’s performance is undoubtedly the film’s highlight, carrying the story with an intensity that evokes classic anti-heroes.

Blending elements of prison drama and organized crime, The Informer doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it’s a solid choice for those seeking entertaining, adrenaline-fueled storytelling.

By the end of the movie all I could say is, “is that it?”. What a let down...

My sources have told me that this film is awfully generic. Don't tell anybody I told you.

Noooo... I mean, the movie was pretty good overall, but that ending! Great acting, good action scenes... but the story was not that good and the ENDING was not great, in my opinion... 6 out of 10 ....

It's fine and totally forgettable with a bad ending.

A perfectly solid action thriller. A little bit on conspiracy. A little bit of punchy punchy. A little bit of reverse heist. All while not forgetting itself and contradicting it's own plot points or being overly silly. I've wasted more time watching worse. Looking at you Eraser Reborn right now. The acting was fine. It does have some classic copaganda where the NYPD is super dedicated and can't be taken off a case. It's kinda amusing that there's a plot point where a cop gets killed and suddenly the police decide to start enforcing laws and stop the drug trade. It's a bit serendipitous because a cop was just killed in Canada and we all got an emergency alert on our phones about an active shooter.

For the most part the flubs that I could tell as a civilian weren't big enough to affect the narrative. It's kinda funny watching prisoners make phone calls and they just go through. Prison calls always require approval and warning. It's adorably throwbacky and yet another plot point involve the police listening in on the calls. It's just a weird balance.

I liked the ending. It was a solid and effective use of the open-ended narrative. The story was complete. i don't need to know what happens next and I was satisfied with the conclusion. That's a really hard balance to hit. The Matrix hit it. Terminator 3 hit it and then both of them ruined perfect endings with sequels. At least I don't have to worry about that here.
