Review: The Informant
Matt Damon stars as real life whistle-blower Mark Whitacre, who works with the FBI while swindling massive amounts of money away from the company, and deceiving everyone involved twenty times over. Sounds pretty amazing, but on film, it’s dreadfully long and uneventful. While Damon may or may not be well in character, the story just doesn’t move along. It’s stuck with uninteresting points, and even with the fair amount of warning that the real story might have been dramatised for the movie’s sake, it almost seems like the opposite is going on. I hereby inform you to skip this one at all cost.4.
