The Informant! (2009)Directed by Steven Soderbergh, rated R, 108 minutes
The Informant! is an offbeat and absurdly funny crime-comedy about Mark Whitacre, the vice president of an agri-business giant, who becomes an informant for the US government over price-fixing accusations. Matt Damon is unrecognizable and delightfully eccentric in the lead, and all the supporting parts are filled with hilarious actors like Scott Bakula, Joel McHale and Tony Hale. The film cleverly uses narration to get you inside the strange mind of Whitacare, 
and as the story progresses it's almost impossible to believe that this is a true story. The Informant! has a fairly entertaining and darkly funny story, but it's Matt Damon who really shines, creating one memorable, baffling and zany character. You'll like it if: You like crime-comedies, workplace comedies, Matt Damon, Thank You for Smoking, Ocean's Eleven or Fargo.
