The Informer- Movie Review
Directed by Andrea Di Stefano and adapted from Anders Roslund and Börge Hellström”s best-selling novel “Three Seconds”, the film is a gripping and compelling tale that is full of tense twists and turns.
It tells us the story of a former special operations soldier and ex-convict, Pete Koslow (Joel Kinnaman) and his desperate plight to lead a normal family life. Circumstances turn him from a loving husband to a convict, who is then forced to work undercover with the FBI, teaming with Wilcox (Rosamund Pike) and Montomery (Clive Owen), to bring down the Polish drug lord who is known as The General (Eugene Lipinski).
When the big drug deal, whose exposure was supposed to be Peter”s exit ticket from the world of crime ends on a bloody note after a NYPD police officer is killed by one of the trigger-happy gangsters, Koslow finds himself stuck in the crossfire between the mob and the FBI.
