Common may not be returning to his assassin’s story in John Wick: Parabellum, but he’s a cop with a bone to pick opposite starring actor Joel Kinnaman who plays a stoic turncoat for the law in director Andrea di Stefano’s The Informer. Formerly titled Three Seconds, Aviron Pictures is delivering the new crime drama on March 22, and with a trailer that further sets things in stone featuring actresses Rosamund Pike, Ana de Arma, and actor Clive Owen.
Honorably discharged Special Ops soldier Pete Koslow’s (Joel Kinnaman) world is turned upside-down when heis 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 (Academy Award nominees 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.
