Movie Review: "The Informant"

This tongue-in-cheek comedy chronicles the torturous real life story of ADM executive informant Mark Whitacre. Matt Damon gives an above average performance as a Walter Mitty character who lies even when the truth might be more convenient. The plot is fairly sophisticated and not always predictable. A Who’s Who supporting cast made the film even more interesting- including The Smother’s Brothers and former Comedy Central comedian Allen Havey. Ocean’s Eleven Stephen Soderbergh directed the movie. Were it not for the repeated fowl language, the movie would likely have merited only a PG-13 rating.
