Jul 1 2009'The Informant' Trailer: See Matt Damon Bumble in a Mustache
Ever wanted to see Matt Damon's Ocean's Eleven character, incognito in one of his famous disguises, in a movie about a high-level executive-turned-whistle blower? Good, because you'll love Steven Soderbergh's new comedy The Informant, which appears to be pretty much that.
Judging by the trailer, large sections of the script must read "Matt Damon once again makes it blatantly obvious that he is recording conversations":
Buster, Quantum Leap, and The Soup all in one movie? It's like an Ocean's for people who like semi-cult television!

This looks like Burn After Reading, only much, much better. And Burn After Reading was great.

I like the pitch. "SODERBERGH... AND CORN."

Do not know about the Burned After Reading you were watching, but the one i saw sucked.
On the other hand The Informant' looks hilarious.

Well, gee. You must've watched a direct-to-DVD version or something.

Matt Damon is certainly a compelling and talented actor. But I get the impression that he needs a director with proper guidance and control, or else he slips into this bland type of performance.

IF and a big if he is as good at this type of role as he was in (damn, I forget the name of the movie but the one about the origin of the CIA) then it should be pretty good.

how did you not like burn after reading... it was like two of the best directors and an all-star cast get together and have fun for an hour and a half.
