The Informant! received its TV premiere on HBO on Saturday, and I suspect the viewing figures were impressive.
The Informant! is a film released at the cinema in 2009 which made an impressive $33 million at the U.S. box office. It also made money internationally, which isn’t bad for a film of this nature.
Matt Damon stars as Mark Whitacre, the guy who helps the FBI uncover a price fixing scandal at his firm ADM. Damon’s brilliant performance is backed up by good performances from Scott Bakula and Joel McHale.
As this review suggests, The Informant! won’t be for everyone. It struggles to decide whether it’s a comedy or a drama, and that confuses matters a little. But it’s definitely worth seeing, especially as it’s now available to watch on HBO.
