Joel Kinnaman's Action Crime Thriller THE INFORMER Gets a New Trailer and Release Date
Vertical Entertainment has revealed a new trailer for the upcoming action spy thriller The Informer. The movie stars Joel Kinnaman as a former special ops solder who gets into some big trouble, which leads him down a road to go undercover for the FBI. This journey leads him to a maximum-security prison where he must infiltrate the mob to take down a powerful crime boss and at the same time he has to fight for his life.
The movie looks solid and it also features a great supporting cast that includes Rosamund Pike, Clive Owen, Common, and Ana de Armas. Here’s the synopsis:
Honorably discharged Special Ops soldier Pete Koslow’s (Joel Kinnaman) world is turned upside-down when he is jailed after a fight to protect his wife (Ana de Armas). He’s given a chance for early release by becoming an informant for the FBI (Rosamund Pike and Clive Owen) and using his covert skills in an operation to take down The General, the most powerful crime boss in New York. But when the FBI sting meant to finally earn Koslow his freedom results in the death of an undercover NYPD cop, Koslow finds himself caught in the crossfire between the mob and the FBI. The General insists Koslow takes the heat and sends him back to prison to spearhead a drug operation from inside, and the FBI affirms that going back to jail to do The General’s bidding is the only way for Koslow to keep his deal with them alive. Caught in a world of impossible choices, Koslow must return to prison,where he formulates a plan to escape the clutches of three of New York City’s most powerful organizations –the mob, the NYPD and the FBI –in order to save himself and his family.
The Informer was directed by Andrea Di Stefano (Escobar: Paradise Lost). The film was originally set for a 2018 theatrical release, but after some release date shifts, the film is now scheduled for a PVOD release on November 6th for $19.99.
