Summary of The Informant
Single-minded Chief Inspector Rennie plies an IRA defector for information leading to the capture of terrorists responsible for recent bombings, but his motives are less than pure--and his intent is less to promote peace than to punish. Filmed on location during a period of unrest in Dublin; the fake working title "Johnny Loves Suzie" was applied to convince residents that the story was a romantic comedy rather than a politically volatile thriller. Based on Gerald Seymour's novel "Field of Blood." Produced for Showtime.
