The Informant

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

Matt Damon goes to the FBI (Scott Bakula and Joel McHale) to report misdeeds at his company ADM.

Apparently this is based on a true story, but there's a lot of controversy over whose story is true.

I don't want to describe the film more than that because it'd be spoiling the whole thing.

It's well acted, but very, very slow. Not sure if I can say it's worth a rental (unless it's a $1), but might be worth watching on HBO, Showtime, etc. if you're into dramas and movies like Catch Me If You Can.

5 out of 10.

I made a real effort at the book, forced myself to get 1/3rd of the way through.

I couldn't get any further, and I've read some slow, boring shit in my day.

I think I read the Count of Monte Cristo after.
