Amid audience praise and word-of-mouth success, the crime action comedy film "The Informant" (written and directed by Kim Seok, provided by NS ENM, produced by Popcorn Film, distributed by Movie City SMC) revealed its top 3 points of praise.
#1. Heo Sung-tae throws his whole body into it x Jo Bok-rae! A fantastic tick‑tack comic performance!
The Informant's strongest source of laughter is undoubtedly the comedy acting of Heo Sung-tae and Jo Bok-rae, who spare no physicality. Heo Sung-tae's bold, self‑deprecating cop performance and Jo Bok-rae's smooth, sly informant, whose banter-like tick‑tack exchanges deliver relentless laughter. Audiences have responded warmly to the actors' comic synergy, saying, "The chemistry between Heo Sung-tae and Jo Bok-rae is amazing. Watching a morning screening blew my stress away" (CGV, Gabv****), and "As an action comedy, it features delightful content and impressive immersive acting from the cast" (CGV, Special****).
#2. Unpredictable comic situations and scenes deliver a barrage of laughs!
The barrage of laughter created by comedy situations whose developments are impossible to predict is also receiving high praise from audiences. Humor elements that erupt at unexpected moments provide nonstop fun and provoke uproarious laughter.
Outlandish incidents and startling scenes placed throughout the film prompt responses from audiences such as, "It was a pleasant and enjoyable time after a long while" (CGV, Joyful****), "If it had been a bit more serious the film would have had more weight, but I was able to laugh freely and the romance made it more enjoyable. I felt my stress melt away" (CGV, MyLove****), and "A movie that keeps the laughs coming. I enjoyed it" (CGV, Sleeping****).
#3. A time‑snatching comedy fit for the year‑end season! Watch it with family, friends or a partner!
Finally, The Informant captures year‑end audiences with cheerful energy throughout its running time. By focusing solely on laughs and action without heavy themes or complex narratives, it allows moviegoers of all ages who visit theaters for the holidays to enjoy the film together.
In this way, The Informant proves to be a representative year‑end comedy that all generations can enjoy through reviews such as, "I went to see a movie with my dad after a long time and I was completely immersed in Heo Sung-tae's acting! There were laugh points throughout so it was fun and time passed incredibly quickly. I had a great movie date with my dad^^" (CGV, Peaceful****), and "It was great to have a movie date with my husband after a long time" (CGV, MeToo****).
The Informant, which is coloring the year‑end box office with laughter and receiving praise, is a crime action comedy about former ace detective Oh Nam‑hyuk (Heo Sung-tae), who lost his rank, passion, will and investigative sense, and informant Jo Tae‑bong (Jo Bok-rae), who provided information on major cases and pocketed ill‑gotten money, who accidentally get involved in a big scheme.
