A story centered on a man who works as an informant for the French border patrol.
Sadly underpowered by the standards of Dafri's previous scripts and unconvincingly plotted, this thriller goes down as a disappointing misfire.
Though there are exciting sequences, the roles are underwritten, the dubbing’s disastrous and the tension lessens even as the net tightens.
Informants on The Informant advise you to avoid this dull thriller.
The film-makers also seem uncertain whether they are making a violent, story-driven gangster thriller, or a moody drama about a man alone.
Some shonky British accents among the smugglers won't help its chances in these waters.
