Mark Whitacre, a high-ranking, agri-business executive for Archer Daniels Midland turns FBI informant about a price-fixing scheme. But the bi-polar Whitacre, who figures himself a hero to people, may be more trouble than he's worse when his own transgressions are brought to light. -- Chris aka Tarkin

Has its problems

An okay film but it kind of works well at the beginning where the comedy mood and comedy score for sure work. Later though when the film changes tone very very heavily the comedy style stops working too well. This film is kind of enjoyable but later it get kind of strange and the comedy no longer works very well. Plus the overall story prattles on a bit much with similar situations occurring over and over again.

A mixed bag

The Informant! has a strong cast and a solid first hour, but the mood quickly shifts halfway through to the point of frustration due to constant twists and changes. Matt Damon carries the film well, he's pretty funny and his characterization of Mark Whitacre, employee-turned-informant is pretty good and believable. Sadly the script fails him in the second half and I got exhausted trying to keep up with it.

Steven Soderbergh's new film is really informative

The informant! is one of those movies which people will be disappointed that it isn't this wacky comedy but this really amazing and also great film that has comedy but not to the point of obsurduty. Matt Damon on this role is great he is really enjoyable and also different compare to other films he started. I love also the music in this film lot's a people will say is a flaw but one of the things is that the score is suppose to be how absurd and how crazy this guy goes in the event. I also love ths supporting character at which some of them are comedians for example Patton Oswalt is a lawyer and many other that i forgot and I'm to lazy to check it up. This film though was really good and I do feel that people should be watching this movie for many reasons. As a Steven Soderbergh movie, it...
