Director Steven Soderbergh has been able to deftly switch between serious subjects (TRAFFIC, ERIN BROCKOVICH) and breezy fare (the OCEAN'S trilogy), but his latest actually pulled a swerve -- I was expecting THE INFORMANT! to be more THE INSIDER than the slapstick tone implied in the trailer. Guess the punctuation should've given it away...

The movie is based on the true story of a crooked agriculture corporation being investigated by the government, with Matt Damon as the chubby executive who's all too eager to become a spy and collect evidence. It's also a parade of familiar faces: Scott Bakula, Patton Oswalt, Tony Hale ("Arrested Development"), Thomas F. Wilson (Biff!), Joel McHale ("Talk Soup"), and I'm pretty sure I spotted Clancy Brown in there...

Extra Tidbit: It's not often you see exclamation points in official movie titles... TOP SECRET! THEM! MOULIN ROUGE! HATARI! HOT SHOTS! TORA! TORA! TORA! What else?

This looks God damn funny. Only Matt Damon can put out those stereotype characters.

How about Airplane! Definitely seems like an interesting role for Damon. Put on weight and got the stache going.

CORN! YES! CORN!
Okay, this thing looks like a blast. The perfect role to compare with, say, "The Good Shepherd." Nice to see Scott Bakula back, and Tony Hale looks to make a surprisingly efective straight man.

This movie looks great. I had no idea it was going to be a comedy, it didnt always have the exclamation point did it?
The cast is awesome too.
