Review of The Informant! (2009) by Sam N — 31 Jan 2011

I'm not really sure what I was expecting from this film, but it pretty much delivered on all fronts. It's a funny, clever and intreguing look into the life of a man who has no qualms about lying to the FBI for six years in order to make his life just that little bit more interesting.

Matt Damon takes a break from his recent action-star persona and does a tremendous job in the lead role as a seemingly average office worker who dreams of espionage and excitement, only to find that one really does have to be careful what they wish for.
