Confidential Informant opens with a voiceover telling us what wonderful people cops are, especially those with combat experience. Case in point Tom Moran and Mike Thorton. We get to see them raid a crack operation and then lie to their superior over little things like not having a search warrant. Wonderful people indeed.

While tossing a baseball around with his son Moran collapses in pain. His wife Anna tells him he needs to see a doctor. He’s seen a doctor, three of them in fact, and they all tell him he has stomach cancer and not too long to live. Coincidentally enough another cop, Frank, was talking at the bar about how much money the department pays out to your family if...

A terminally ill cop and his trusted partner hatch a plan to have him killed in the line of duty, thus clearing his debts and financially securing his beloved family. Confidential Informant is a gritty crime drama with a relevant theme. Police officers risk their lives for low pay and meager retirement benefits. 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.

Set in 1995 New York City, Narcotics Lieutenant Kevin Hickey (Mel Gibson) opens with a frank statement. Cops work diligently for the public good but aren't treated fairly when their chips are cashed. His voiceover introduces the grizzled Tom Moran (Dominic Purcell) and alcoholic Mike Thorton (Nick Stahl). Both men served as Marines in the Iraq War before joining the force.

Confidential Informant is a cop movie directed by Michael Oblowitz, starring Mel Gibson and Kate Bosworth

During a crack epidemic two narcotics agents hunting for a cop killer. Hoping for leads, Moran and Thorton pay off a junkie informant. To provide for his wife and son, Moran involves the stool pigeon in a deadly scheme. This causes the partners to come under the scrutiny of a suspicious internal affairs agent.
