Positive Review For The Informers

A positive review of The Informers. Its interesting that this reviewer likes the film for the same reasons that many have panned it.

The film intentionally (and beautifully) over-saturates and overindulges itself - with such deliberateness that it sometimes feels like it was actually made in '83. Everything about it lulls you into that dark, steamy, predictable, naive and shockingly shiny 80's aesthetic. The delivery is so seductive that you come quickly to expect that big 80's ending - a big moral resolution - or maybe even a series of small ones that magically explain how all these people effected each other. Thankfully, there is nothing of the sort.
