Confidential Informant

In a gritty and intense thriller, two narcotics agents hunt for a cop killer in 1980s America during a crack epidemic. As they navigate the dark world of crime and corruption, their own partnership is put to the test when they enlist the help of a stool pigeon, setting off a chain of events that draws the scrutiny of an internal affairs agent. With standout performances from its cast, including Mel Gibson, Kate Bosworth, and Dominic Purcell, "Confidential Informant" brings a pulse-pounding narrative to the screen, though it may not quite live up to its full potential due to some notable missteps.
