The InformantA smart and ridiculously funny comedy about a man and a scandal. Matt Damon is great as Mark Whitacre who offers his help to the FBI to unveil a worldwide price fixing scandal. The political/economic thematic elements are sometimes confusing and the story sort of drags on near the end as we are treated to a series of very repetitive meetings acting as a denouement but the characters are so enjoyable the story matters very little.
The movie is really about this character of Mark Whitacre, who often seems too clueless to be a company VP. At various moments during the film we are treated to thoughts and insights into Whitacre's mind. These moments are both hilarious and very revealing. The film ends on a high note and everything that seemed so ridiculous up to that point seems to make sense. This is a true story after all.
Must See It
