Any movie adapted from the writing of Brett Easton Ellis and involving his vacuous, drug fueled, hedonistic, sexually loose, amoral characters is bound to court controversy and misunderstanding. Unfortunately, poor editing of plot-lines and the replacement of one director by another have reduced these vignettes, of beautiful party-going pill-popping '70s Angelenos, to the empty shell that their lives represent. However, given the excellent soundtrack and '80s feel 'The Informers' does have some cult potential. Congratulations: Your vote has been cast
