Pass the Popcorn: The Informant!

How could it not be good? There's an exclamation point at the end of the title. Matt Damon plays Mark Whitacre, a big wig in the agro business who decides to blow the whistle on price fixing. Despite being a fairly forgettable movie, Damon's off-beat portrayal is top notch. Reminiscent to Burn After Reading, you can't help but be drawn into some people's psyche. Whitacre's bumbling sense of being engaged me throughout. It just took me three days to remember I had watched it. It's basically like an SNL version of The Insider with Russell Crowe.
