bigdog17k Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_THe_0h9coLk/SqVExPMaA5I/AAAAAAAAACY/KfxOXUV69E8/s400/The+Informant.jpg"The Informant" is a true story that parallels a mixture of "A Beautiful Mind" and "The Insider" -- where real life Ph.D.s had done something extraordinary. Based on Kurt Eichenwald's 2000 book, "The Informant" is the tale of Mark Whitacre (played by Matt Damon), an Ivy League Ph.D. who was a rising star at Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in the early 1990s. The bipolar hero wound up blowing the whistle on the company's price fixing tactics and became the highest-ranked executive to ever turn whistleblower in US history. Whitacre secretly gathered hundreds of hours of video and audio tapes over several years to present to the FBI which became one of the largest price fixing cases in history. In the story -- a dark comedy / thriller in director Steven Soderbergh's hands -- Whitacre's good deed dovetails with his own major infractions and struggle with severe bipolar disorder. I want to see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldChili Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 what outta 10Around a 9. If you're like the average moviegoer and need 20 explosions in every movie to stay focused, then you won't like it. Otherwise, you'll most likely enjoy it.
