The Informant!


I went into this movie expecting a breezy, funny, lightweight comedy that doesn't take itself remotely seriously, but I was completely wrong. This film really isn't that funny and it was much darker than I was expecting. Matt Damon gives a great performance and is pretty much unrecognizable as Mark Whitacre, but I really didn't enjoy this movie all that much. It jumps around too much and I was losing interest a little over half way through when new revelations just kept popping up to throw the characters around in the tornado some more. I think my expectations got the best of me. It isn't awful, and it has a few chuckle worth moments sprinkled in there, but I probably wouldn't want to watch it again.
