the informer be a story of various upper class individual and their disconnect with themselves and others . feature a large ensemble of character and the usual cynical tone of writer bret easton elli and it take a lot of time to know the character well enough to even care and and character development be probably not as great a it could have be . if you a big fan of the author body of work ( his novel or their adaptation ) you may a a completist make an extra effort to enjoy this but aside from two or three memorable moment and such a the conclusion and thing be rather flat . director gregor jordan filmography be get progressively bad since the amazing two hand and which be make back when he have little money to work with and away from big hollywood influence . here and he fail to provide any structure . only the pacing and tone remain consistent . there be a sense that the screenplay adaptation ( by elli himself ) butcher his novel and a sense that the producer far butcher the screenplay . actor part ( brandon routh ) be completely cut and this movie must have be an edit nightmare . overall and it be probably too late to scrap that one but i strongly suspect the only reason it get make in the end be because of many people who be fan of the writer and his work . the problem be and outside of american psycho and none of his novel have translate very well to the big screen . probably time to appreciate his writing in novel form and forget about film .
