The whole film sits behind a yellow hue, a clear nod to the corn industry at the centre of the plot. Soderbergh’s films are often experimentally stylish and The Informant! employs some obvious and other less obvious visual devices. It’s rare that an original score such as this is as important or as noteworthy as Hamlisch’s work is, but it’s fair to say that The Informant! wouldn’t be half the film without it. Marvin Hamlisch’s incredible composing is critical to the narrative and in many cases provides the gags itself. Instead, it weaves comic absurdity through every element most notably the score. Although The Informant! is a comedy, it isn’t looking for belly laughs. He captures the contradictions of the character perfectly, playing to the comic elements of the script as well as the ultimate tragedy of this figure. And as the story unfolds, Whitacre becomes even more deluded and isolated from reality and the other characters become increasingly confused by his behaviour.ĭamon’s performance is superb. The seemingly nonsensical and irrelevant monologues are an early clue that Whitacre isn’t completely in touch with reality. Soderbergh takes us on a bizarre journey through the psyche of what is ultimately a very troubled mind. However it’s not as simple as this the film is partly narrated by Whitacre who is the very definition of unreliable. He accuses the company of price fixing, and so spies on behalf of the FBI who attempt to build a case against them.
Mark Whitacre played by Matt Damon is the informant inside the agriculture giant ADM. Whereas Michael Mann’s superb The Insider was a self-consciously serious look at corporate greed gone amuck, Steven Soderbergh takes us on an altogether more cynical and often sarcastic journey through what could have been the biggest corporate scandal in modern American history. The exclamation mark at the end of The Informant! tells us much about what we need to know about this film.
