Review: The Informant


Review: The Informant
Rating: ***
Nonna's Rating: $$$
Rotten Tomatoes: 77%

Matt Damon again shows himself to be a superb actor, but the pudgy schlub in this film surely can't be the guy in Bourne Ultimatum! In this film, Damon is a high-level corporate whistle blower at Archer Daniels Midland who exposes global price fixing. But, what seems pretty straightforward at first does, indeed, get a lot more complicated than that -- and a lot more fascinating than we might imagine. There's something very endearing about this very mixed up man. His FBI runners are so fond of him they carry around pictures of his him and his family. Make sure you rent it.

Nonna's Ratings:
$$$$ = Worth paying the Friday evening price
$$$= Worth paying the Matinee price
$$= Worth a rental
$ = Wait for cable
# = Skip it
