The Informant!

What was Mark Whitacre thinking? A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Mark Whitacre suddenly turns whistleblower, and in so doing exposes his company's multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI. Rather than being jailed as a hero he finds himself - a little bit like a secret agent - in a hunt for evidence until, that is, the FBI start wondering exactly what is real in Whitacre's story and what is a product of his rambling imagination.

'It may come across like a self-satisfied madcap bauble, but that titular exclamation mark is the key that unlocks the myriad subtextual delights of Soderbergh's timely latest, a flippant white-collar corporate caper that harks back to his delicious 1996 farce, ?Schizopolis'. '

'For all the silly walks and comic cameos, anger fuels "The Informant!," giving it its pulse and reason for being. Anger inspires its giggles, forces its tears and might even explain the fiery orange that colors so many faces, as if this world and its people were on the verge of immolation.'

The fest carries on with a little help from Steven Soderbergh and Jane Campion...

It's Bourne... with a beard!

See Matt Damon turn whistleblower in Steven Soderbergh's latest flick...
