Matt Damon stars as Mark Whitacre, a real-life PhD student who became a whistleblower on an agricultural business when their practices become unlawful. Valued as a rising star at the company, Whitacre secretly set about compiling hours of video footage of malpractice over several years which revealed one of the biggest price-fixing scandals in history.

After the scandal was uncovered, Whitacre suffered a mental breakdown, spiralling into a life of bizarre behaviour and mania from the pressures of his undercover work. The Informant recounts his story with a darkly comic sensibility.

3 Pretty Good Off Beat Comedy Drama.

Well made movie with old fashioned feel to it.
Story is a bit up and down, but overall enjoyable.
Main highlights are Matt Damons wonderfully Deluded Performance and the Super Voice Over he delivers with it.
Probably wont be to everyones taste.

2 Does Not Work As A Comedy.

The Informant (2009) is a comedy drama starring Matt Damon, Scott Bakula, Melanie Lynskey and Joel McHale.

Based on a true story this is a quirky offbeat movie from director Steven Soderbergh (Erin Brockovich). Matt Damon is very good in the leading role while TV star Scott Bakula surprises with a terrific supporting role.

The main problem with this movie is that its just not funny. Soderbergh does his best to create a quirky comedy but there are very few laughs to had. Its an interesting story but Soderbergh should have just played it straight as a drama.

The quirky comedy is awkward and spoils the more dramatic story. Still the performance from Damon is worth watching and there's a good commentary from Soderbergh to be enjoyed on the extras.
