Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger and Winona Ryder are shown dining at Spago's in the movie. This Spago's was located on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, and is completely different from the Spago's which currently exists in Beverly Hills (as of 2010).

Milena Arango has a heavy South American accent in real life, so she was re-dubbed by an American actress for the final version of the movie.

When Peter (Mickey Rourke) shows Jack (Brad Renfro) the child in the van, you can easily see a crew member through the front windshield looking in. He tries to get out of the way, but much too late.

Faq

How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?

For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie. The Parents Guide for The Informers can be found here.

Why does Tim resents his father so much?

It is implied in the movie that Tim's father was never around when he was growing up and, after a long time of absence, decided to try to reconnect with his son by taking him on a "father-son" trip to Hawaii. What made Tim upset was that his father was trying to make it up for years of absence in one trip. The father was trying to reconnect with him but had no idea who his son was and didn't know how to deal with him, a consequence for not being around him in his growing years.
