Watch The Informant 2009

Punctuation promises hilarity in The Informant! as if the name substance is a sketch secret agent - maybe Manager 86 in Get Stylish. But he's not. The screech-blower creditable of an exclamation point in this groovy-looking, gurgle-baiting, fact-based movie from protean director Steven Soderbergh is Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon), a biochemist and well-to be found executive at the agri-processing giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in Decatur, Ill. It's the early 1990s. The presence man is helping expose ADM's alleged large-scale price-fixing activities to the FBI, cooperating with the feds long enough to gather important evidence. But what Whitacre doesn't confide to his FBI handlers, and what his wheat-colored jackets, Dilbert ties, and weakling beard hide, at least at first, is that this within source is not completely trustworthy. Damon, fattened up to fit his boxy suits, wears Whitacre's slack demeanor superbly. The star - who has quietly and steadily turned into a great

In The Informant!, director Steven Soderbergh recounts a story so unexplained it has to be true. And, healthy, it is. But Soderbergh's stylistic approach adds some artifice. For example, maybe 50% of the speaking parts go to recognizable comedians, though not one of them ever says anything that's made-up to be comic. And while the actions take place in the early- to mid-1990s, the look of The Informant! is more reminiscent of the Carter management, right down to the film's original score by Marvin Hamlisch (The Sting, Ice Castles).

The effect works, but, through and through. And in part because of those decisions, it's somewhat unanticipated that this is one of Soderbergh's most consistent films, never comatose, never veering off into some direction it shouldn't be going.

When Whitacre (Matt Damon) cultured that ADM was engaged in price fixing, he told the FBI - in material form most often by Scott Bakula - exactly what he know. His company, which in 2008 reported gross profits of an astonishing $70 billion, would establish higher rates for lycene than the reasonable --------------- price, or would agree to higher prices in conjunction with companies in Japan and Europe.

Soderbergh is as smart, stylish, and ? awake a filmmaker as they come. And there are moments in The Informant! when I can ? almost be converted that the tonal feints he ? establishes at the junction of joke and no-joke are seriously, solicitously meant to reproduce the misaligned synapses in Whitacre's own head. But if that's the intention, Soderbergh ? ultimately made the choice to abandon attractive, dispassionate empathy for the more quick-fix payoff of amusement. As Whitacre goes through his days, Damon recites interior monologues of distracted study in voice-overs meant to demonstrate how his character's unusual brain works. In The Informant!, that brain - screwy and yet capable of doing important undercover work - free-associates like Ellen DeGeneres on a swing through ? Walmart. Cute, but as even Agent 86 would say in Get Smart: Missed it by that much.
