Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
jaystradamus78 It was a interesting movie that's great for cable! I didn't think I would like it when it first came on after a movie I watched on purpose but I ended up being hooked in because the life of this snitch and the lies he told and the holes he dug himself was quite interesting! It's worth a watch once with emphasis on once!
lennart-73652 Extremely slow and boring start to the movie. Kicks up in the end where Matt Damon also redeems himself as the main thing that keeps this movie up. How he acts as the plot unravels towards the end is very good, though my first thought of him was that he looked ridiculous and was poorly casted to carry his role. The movie in general is actually very simple to watch which also makes it a little boring at first. There are no side stories/plots and no other interesting characters to develop. All you have to do is to wait for the plot to develop and for Matt Damon to step up towards the end.
John Doe I went to this film back in 2009 when it was released because I couldn't decide on what movie to see. I judged the film by the poster.Wow, what a huge mistake I made. This is the most boring movie ever (even Matt Damon couldn't save it!) The story is beyond flat, the acting is terrible and everything about it is terrible. I wish i could have gotten my one hour and forty eight minutes back because it felt like it dragged on and on and on.Please trust me when I say this is Matt Damon's worst film he has ever made. This gets a 1 star from me, and i wish I could bury every copy of it and let it never see the light of day. Run away from this film and don't let anyone else see it either. The less people that see it the better. I give The Informant! a 1/10.
petrey-connor The Informant! really didn't start off great. Voice-over? Wow just having seen Fight Club, the voice-over in this was dull. I understand at times that's what it's trying to do and yes it's funny but it's not until about 50 minutes in when the film gets interesting and very fascinating. That's near when a twist occurs and that's where the unexpected ending happens. In all the film is funny yet very dull. I purchased it on bluray for 5 dollars and I recommend you do the same. It's a good deal. But don't yell at me when you don't like the end. Just look for Tony Hale, the brother from Arrested Development and when you do that's when to get excited because things JUST GOT INTERESTING! I give it a 7 out of 10
