A few weeks ago I posted about how excited I was for "The Informers," a new limited-release movie based on the book by Bret Easton Ellis. We went to see it last night at some shitty indie theater in Atlanta and unfortunately we were all a little disappointed. I'm no movie reviewer so check out the links below to hear from the professionals, who are calling it "one of the worst movies of this or any year": it has a 5% from Top Critics on Rotten Tomatoes right now.
In my opinion, it wasn't THAT bad. The problem was that it took itself way too seriously when it was supposed to be an over-the-top satire, like the book. I was entertained the whole time, but I was waiting for all of the random story-lines to connect in some cool, Crash-like way...but then it just ended and the credits came on. The biggest problem? There was not NEARLY enough 80's shit in it. There were a few songs, some music videos, and a lot of cool Ray-Bans, but I was expecting a nonstop mindfuck of 80's.
Recommendation: Save your money on a ticket or a rental, try and watch a shitty bootleg version on the internet.
