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.
