Synopsis
The Informant! (2009) is Steven Soderbergh's crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Matt Damon plays Mark Whitacre, a star executive at an agribusiness giant who quietly decides to hand his bosses over to the FBI.
Whitacre tells agents that his company, Archer Daniels Midland, has spent years rigging prices, and he's thrilled to wear a wire. In his head he's a secret agent, a hero of the little guy, surely due for a promotion. The longer the investigation drags on, the harder it gets to tell where the truth ends and his fantasies begin. Scott Bakula and Joel McHale play the baffled agents stuck managing the strangest informant they've ever met.
Soderbergh tells a real 1990s corporate scandal as something close to farce: a bouncy retro score, a running monologue inside Whitacre's head, and a noticeably heavier Damon. Under the breezy surface sits a sharp study of a man lying to everyone, himself most of all. Stream The Informant! (2009) online on iFILM.
