The 8 Best Spy Movies On Netflix Right Now

The Informant! (2009)

While Steven Soderbergh might be more commonly known for his heist trilogy, Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen, as well as his award-winning titles like Erin Brockovich and Traffic, to name only two, one very entertaining romp from the acclaimed filmmaker that unfortunately slipped through the cracks was 2009’s The Informant!, a true story that’s so ludicrous, you’d swear it’s fiction. Featuring a career-best performance from Matt Damon, this dramedy finds Damon playing Mark Whitacre, a whistleblower in the lysine price-fixing conspiracy in the mid-’90s who finds himself caught up in a large stream of absurd circumstances throughout the movie’s runtime. While the tale never fails to recognize the humor in this situation, the film’s portrayal of Mark Whitacre shows a midwestern man who wants to believe he’s at the center of a spy capper. Suffice to say, the irony of it all provided a far richer tale. See it all play out here.
