In an effort to earn his freedom, an ex-felon-turned-FBI informant is forced to go undercover to infiltrate the criminal organization of a powerful New York drug lord. But in doing so, he must return to the one place he didn't want to go back -- prison.
Check out the new official trailer for "The Informer," a crime thriller starring Joel Kinnaman (Suicide Squad) as Pete Koslow, an ex-military soldier-turned-convict who, in exchange for an early release, has agreed to become an undercover FBI informant. He is tasked with taking down a dangerous drug smuggler. But when things suddenly get too messy for the FBI, Pete immediately becomes expendable.
Co-starring Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), Clive Owen (Inside Man), Common (The Hate U Give), and Ana de Armas (Blade Runner 2049), the film is directed by Italian actor/filmmaker Andrea Di Stefano, who also made the Benicio Del Toro-starring drug cartel drama "Escobar: Paradise Lost."
Based on the best-selling Swedish novel "Three Seconds" by Borge Hellstrom and Anders Roslund, "The Informer" is currently slated for an August 16th theatrical release in the U.S.
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.
