theshrillestThis is a true story of a guy who blew the whistle on Archer Daniels Midland and a massive corn syrup price fixing cartel, he was also a manic bipolar liar and corporate criminal. Doubly interesting because it's about an unhinged fabulist and is based on a book by Kurt…

- Ethan likedThe Informant!
If the movie was two hours he would've stolen billions.
Matt likedThe Informant!I really enjoyed this. It’s an unbelievable true story that’s well directed, well written entertainment. Damon is really good as the compulsively lying lead. It’s dramatic in parts and really funny in others and it’s always engaging. Really good stuff
Nothuman likedThe Informant!Really fun movie with a lot of interesting turns, and Damon and supporting cast all do a very good job
