the informer be not a bad movie and but it be definitely not a movie you would like to see twice . various story be tell and life be expose in this film but nothing show really get to the viewer . it main aim be to show the very essence of some of the luxurious life of california big shot at the end of the 80 . while intensive drug abuse and cheap rock n roll and sex be go on the director show confrontational situation within family and adolescent that have everything and nothing at the same time and micky roorke and that be probably in this film a a source of information about the 80 cocaine a the new trend and career downfall . no complains with k. basinger and billy bob though there be no mayor performance in the cast . script could have be much well and it far from original . there be literally no need for anyone to watch this film unless you want to see the dark side of fame and hollywood which be definitely a cliché .
