The informers

Set in the mid eighties, this film is more about mood than plot. The
plot takes you from the life of a bisexual drug addicted musician to
the drugged up lives of Hollywood elite children dealing with drug and
sexuality issues compiled with a lack of knowing what is considered
right and wrong all the way to a thoughtless child snatch and grab
mickey rourke. Although this film has an abundance of production value
and a good cast - it suffers from a lack of coherence in the fact that
other than a wierd love triangle and an drug use there was little to
keep the characters together. There were only two instances of
redemption but those came from two nobody actors given a chance to
shine which was ultimately non impressive. I would have loved to have
seen rourkes character developed more in this film as he was solely
there as a loathesome character meant to do nothing than further a
minor plot point. Considering his character and the character played
by kim basinger, it is no wonder they didn't show for the world premier.
