Hidden tapes? Check. Recording? Check. Evidence? Check. Academy Award® winner Matt Damon (Ocean’s Trilogy, Bourne Trilogy) gives a Golden Globe® nominated performance as everyman Mark Whitacre, who takes on a double life as The Informant!
This hilarious comedy is released on Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand and Digital Download from 29th March 2010. Based on the true story of the highest-ranking corporate whistleblower in U.S. history, The Informant! is a slick and intelligent comedy about the good guy taking on the boardroom bullies.
Steven Soderburgh (Ocean’s Trilogy, Erin Brockvich, Che) directs a Scott Burns (The Bourne Ultimatum) script with a stellar cast including Scott Bakula (Star Trek, American Beauty), Eddie Jemison (Ocean’s Trilogy, Bruce Almighty) and Melanie Lynskey (Up In The Air, Flags Of Our Fathers) delivering outstanding performances in this comedy satire. What was Mark Whitacre thinking?
A rising star at anti-industry giant ADM, Whitacre suddenly turns whistleblower. Even as he exposes his company’s multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre envisions himself being hailed as a hero of the common man and landing a huge promotion.
But before all that can happen the FBI needs evidence, so Whitacre eagerly agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape recorder in his briefcase, imagining himself as a kind of de facto secret agent and branding himself smart as James Bond.
Ironic when it soon becomes clear that Whitacre is uncovering a different version of the truth.
Receiving high acclaim at the Venice and London Film Festivals, writer Scott Burns and Academy Award® winning Director Steven Soderbergh collaborate to create this witty and timely satire.
Take a look through the boardroom keyhole when The Informant! is released on Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand and Digital Download from 29th March 2010.
