The Informant

The Informant is a fun, fast-paced story about a guy (Mark Whitacre) who is involved in a price-fixing scheme but agrees to become an informant (hence the title) to the federal government in an effort to bring justice to the world. Matt Damon took this movie and ran with it. He had fun eating hamburgers, pizza and dark beer to gain the weight for the role of Mark. He made this movie and it is fun to watch and in my opinion, more deserving of an Oscar nomination than his role in Invictus. I give The Informant two thumbs up for the sheer enjoyment of watching a funny and engaging film.
