The Informant (2009)

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

The Informant (2009)

Post by Leisher »

Matt Damon plays a guy who becomes an FBI informant against his own company's price fixing.

This is based upon a true story, and holy shit. The guy in real life, if any of this is even remotely true... Damon's character is so ridiculous that it's hard to believe this was a real person. Apparently, he is a real person though. Very, very smart, but a complete social retard.

The movie itself is competently made, but a bit long.

If you like true story stuff, particularly about how corporate America is screwing people over, you'll like this movie.

Not bad, but not one you'll kick yourself for missing.
