"The Informant" (2009)

The scoop on "The Informant!" including photos, review, trailer, poster and cast list for this comedy starring Matt Damon and Scott Bakula.

Movie Synopsis: What was Mark Whitacre thinking? A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Whitacre suddenly turns whistleblower. Even as he exposes his company's multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre envisions himself being hailed as a hero of the common man and handed a promotion. But before all that can happen, the FBI needs evidence, so Whitacre eagerly agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape recorder in his briefcase, imagining himself as a kind of de facto secret agent.

"The Informant!" Movie Review

Matt Damon packed on 30 pounds to play a wacky, delusional corporate whistle-blower in "The Informant!," a comedy which reunites the actor with his "Ocean's 11," "12" and "13" director Steven Soderbergh. One of the most entertaining, well-written and funny movies of 2009, "The Informant!" was worth the weight gain for Damon as he delivers what's easily his best performance to date.
