Dark comedy ‘Informs’ and impresses

“They call me 0014, because I’m twice as smart as 007.”

This is one of the witty lines to come from “The Informant!” a new dark comedy starring Matt Damon as a biochemist at big corporation in the 1990s, directed by Steven Soderbergh.

Damon’s character, Mark Whitacre (a character in which Damon put on 30 pounds to play), is a tattle-tale on his corporate elders to the highest degree and is a laugh riot in doing so.

When I first sat down to watch the movie, I thought I was going to be given some mind-thinking movie with morals.

That was not the case.

This is a movie that gives you the inside look at a man who gets himself into something he just can’t handle.

All throughout the movie, I was laughing about things that I thought would never be funny—corporate misdoings, corruption, fraud.

This movie takes me to a place that I thought I’d never go, and that’s inside the mind of a rat who thinks what he did was right, without evaluating himself.

I would honestly see this movie again, only because Damon is hilarious, in a dry humor sort of way.

The casting is great and I recommend this to anyone who’s seen movies by the Coen Brothers, or any other dark comedy genre movie.

“The Informant!” is still in theaters, so don’t miss out on a movie that makes you want to keep your mouth shut—as well as your eyes open.
