1.5/4
"
The Informers
lacks bite and is curiously low on bark. It's a mishmash of sullen stories that resemble what Robert Altman might've put out on an off day."

"This is nothing more than
Short Cuts
with shortcuts"

"
The Informers
is a beautiful picture of misery, but the surface quality is never penetrated to satisfaction. In the end, it's a mess of smeary mascara, mix tapes, and hair mousse in search of connective tissue."

"Sublimely awful, director Gregor Jordan's adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' dystopic vision of '80s era Los Angeles bounces between a slew of unlikable reckless characters."

3.5/4
"Aesthetically pretty, subjectively ugly, and emotionally incisive, the picture celebrates the passing of a not-so-innocent era and mourns the victims left in its wake."

"Brazenly befouling cinemas with its sub-soap-opera acting, melodramatic dialogue, and thoroughly unlikable characters."

C-
"In spite of the title,
The Informers
doesn't get below the surface of the era of Reaganesque excess to tell us anything new. But it's way cool to look at."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"Each story adds up to nothing individually...and
The Informers
is exactly the sum of its parts."
Cinepinion
Henry Stewart
1.5/4
"
The Informers
is the kind of movie that, upon leaving the theater, provokes the urge to take a shower."

3/10
"...a ninety-eight-minute snooze-fest."

John J. Puccio
"Imagine "Crash" with a social disease and you pretty much have "The Informers" in a nutshell."

Peter Sobczynski
2.5/5
"Watching people live such vacuous, clone-like lives of privilege and decadence, it's impossible to feel anything for them."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
5/10
"Life is a bitch and then you go to L.A."
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
1.5/5
"An ugly, blank slate of a film, one that feels like a rough outline for one of the better Ellis adaptations."
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
1.5/5
"There's no real structure to Jordan's film, so stories haphazardly begin and disappear without ending"
