Confidential Informant is a 2023 American thriller film written by Michael Oblowitz, Michael Kaycheck and Brooke Nasser, directed by Oblowitz and starring Dominic Purcell, Kate Bosworth and Mel Gibson.[1]

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

In July 2022, it was announced that the film was in production and that Purcell, Stahl, Bosworth and Gibson were all cast.[2]

Release[edit]

The film was released on digital and on demand on June 27, 2023 and in theaters on June 30, 2023.[3][4][5]

Reception[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 0% of 11 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 3.1/10.[6]

Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "It has the shape of a movie, but none of the stuff to make it move."[7]

Julian Roman of MovieWeb also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The film doesn't craft a compelling narrative to support its cause. Shoddy camera work, murky lighting, and a grating score hinder what could have been impactful. A puzzling climax also makes little sense after a long build up."[8]

Sergio Pereira of Comic Book Resources also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Despite the cast's best efforts and the noir gloss on display, Confidential Informant surrenders to lackluster editing, flawed logic, and the clichés."[9]

Accolades[edit]

At the 44th Golden Raspberry Awards, the film was nominated for Worst Supporting Actor for Mel Gibson.[10]
