I have to admit during this entire movie I was laughing AND saying to myself, "What the fuck?" Matt Damon does an excellent job in this movie. His acting and role is very similar to the part he played in The Talented Mr. Ripley; in the sense that you aren't sure what the intentions of the character are.
So, this movie is based off of a true story where a man, Mark Whitacre (Damon) works for ADM but ends up cooperating with the FBI's investigation into ADM's pricing fixing accusations. The accusations were brought to the FBI's attention by Whitacre, who is not so innocent himself. But what the heck is he doing wrong? His pile of lies leads us to believe that something fishy is definitely going on.
My problem with this movie is I HATE and I am annoyed by STUPID PEOPLE! I get that someone wants to correct the scandalous and malicious acts big corporations are inflicting on consumers; cheating is wrong, it's just plain wrong.
BUT...
Who in the hell is stupid enough to believe that by getting your bosses convicted of a federal offenses that you would still be working for the company???!!!??? Stupidity! WHY the hell would someone who wanted to keep their job do that? AND! Why the hell would you try to get someone convicted of a crime when you yourself are guilty of several other federal offenses!!!???!!! How dumb!!! Really?
Imagine... You are an illegal immigrant and get a job at this company. THEN, you go to the cops and you turn that company in for hiring illegal immigrants. Whitacre is the illegal immigrant, but he is growing pot in his back yard as well.
I kind of liked the ending, they found out that Whitacre laundered $9 million while working for the FBI, but in the end he says what's 11 million. HAHAHA! During the movie you think he is a moron. Then, you find out he laundered $9 million and you think, maybe he isn't so stupid after all. But, then he gets caught, so he stupidity status is renewed. AND THEN, he is stupid enough to forget how much money he said he laundered to begin with!?! Is it 9 million or 11 million? And if you thought it was 9, but it turned out to be 11 could it have been 15 million?
OH! And he didn't even live all that great of a life. He had a bunch of cars and a decent looking house, but nothing like what you would expect someone who laundered $9 million of tax free money in 6 or so years would be living?!? And he NEVER took vacations!?! What the heck?
Experts Says: 3 Stars; family friendly; annoying at times; wait for Net Flicks.
