The Informant
Matt Damon is back this week with the DVD release of The Informant, which earnt him a Golden Globe nomination.
The movie is based on a real life story and Damon takes on the role of Mark Whitacre who turned whistleblower as he exposes his company's multi-national price fixing conspiracy to the FBI.
So look around the office has anyone been acting a little odd? Here are the ten tell tale signs that somebody is on the snitch.
1. We’re not just talking shifty movements, we’re talking about subconsciously really getting into the role; has he suddenly started sprouting facial hair, gaining weight, donning a prosthetic nose (a la Matt Damon)? Tut tut, some people get so carried away...
2. Is he increasingly random on the phone when you and others are around, with sentences starting and ending abruptly and not really saying very much, like ‘...er...yes, yes and er, yes. Yes, that is...er, correct. Yes’?
3. When he offers to make you a cup of tea, is he gone for a bit longer than normal? Like 2 hours longer?
4. Does he carry a briefcase and wear a mac, even though you don’t work in the City and it’s not 1988?
5. Have you spotted him sitting in cars, or on park benches, with strange men whispering in hushed tones?
6. Does there seem to be a weird magnetic field around him, causing mobile phones, radios and iPods to start jittering and spluttering?
7. When he asks you about work reports, conversations with your boss and supplier details, does he get right UP IN YOUR FACE and ask you to speak more clearly?
8. Is he the only one in the office that isn’t distracted by sexy Suzy in accounts?
9. Does he walk very very quickly and always look at the floor?
10. Does he sweat at work drinks? Or, come to think of it, anytime he makes eye contact with anyone?
The Informant! is out on DVD and Blu-ray on 29 March by Warner Home Video
