The Informant (15)

18 November 2009

MATT Damon stars in THE INFORMANT (15), based on the true story of the highest-ranking corporate whistleblower in US history.

Mark Whitacre is a rising star at agricultural industry giant Archer Daniels Midland.

He goes to the FBI about his company's multi-national price-fixing conspiracy and agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape recorder to get the evidence the FBI needs.

But it seems Whitacre is not quite a squeaky clean as he appears.

His ever-changing account frustrates the agents (played by Scott Bakula and Joel McHale) and threatens the case as it becomes almost impossible to decipher what is real and what is the product of Whitacre's active imagination.
