The Informer

Synopsis

Pete Koslow — an honourably discharged special ops soldier and a reformed criminal — works for a Polish drag gang but secretly feeds information to FBI. After a big drug deal goes wrong, the crime overlord sends him back to a maximum-security prison to spearhead the gang’s drug traffic from inside. After Pete realises that the feds are not going to get him out, he starts plotting an escape. Caught in the crossfire between the police, FBI and the mob, he is on his own now.
