Review of The Informant! (2009) by Jonny P — 31 Mar 2012
Matt Damon steps forward in a comedic role unlike anything he's played before, further proving himself as one of the finest actors of our generation. His monologues are hilarious, delivered with impeccable timing.
The downfall of "The Informant!" is that its transition from comedy to drama is too sudden. What starts as a quirky comedy leaves the audience with a sour taste in the end. The greatest aspect of this movie is a fun and feisty score by Marvin Hamlisch.
His score makes it possible for this serious subject matter to have a lighthearted feel and successfully brings out this movie's comedy. If for no other reason, this movie is worth seeing for Hamlisch's score and Damon's monologues.
