Review of The Informer

I came across this movie on Amazon streaming, my wife looked at the trailer and chose to skip. It isn't a pleasant, happy movie. It involves characters who are Polish drug smugglers, later characters who are hardened criminals in a large prison. Though it is fiction it all seems very real and very dangerous.

All the actors are fine in their roles, there are crosses and double crosses but in the end there is hope for the "informer" and his young family.

Very well made movie for its genre.
