The Informant!

The film takes place from 1992-1994, yet the cars have Illinois license plates that first appeared in 2001.

When they are playing golf in Hawaii.

The close up of the golf spikes that are being worn are Nikes.

Nike did not have a presence in the golf industry when the film was taking place.

Their entrance into the golf world did not happen until around 1996.

When Whitacre first goes in yelling at his boss, his bosses pen appears and disappears between shots.

In the scene when they supposedly are in Mexico, the pay phone model reveals they are actually at some Aeromexico lounge in the US.

When the shot of Tokyo is shown, there is a Half-pipe coaster.

This story takes place in 1992-1994.

The coaster was built in 2005.

At the scene where Whitacre is in his BMW outside an Econo Lodge, the logo on the top of the motel is one that was introduced in 2008, well after this movie takes place.

When Mike meets with the FBI agents after they discovered he informed Schmidt of the raid he shows up in a Mercedes SL-Coupe (R129 chassis) which is correct for the period, but the wheels are Mercedes Benz style 530 which were not released until the 2005 Mercedes Benz S-Class (W221 chassis).

The establishing shot for the first scene at Brian Shepard's office states that the office is in Springfield, Illinois, but shots of the door to the FBI to Shepherd's FBI field office says Decatur, Illinois, where ADM is located.

It's all so hilarious, those goofy, quirky Corporate types that siphon Billions from the Rubes as they go merrily along as they fashion themselves Masters of the Universe. There is so much Money that keeping track of it all is futile at best.

Disappointing effort from Soderbergh, especially since, given the source material, it had a lot of potential. The story and script are solid - the plot twists and turns and often takes the viewer by surprise, and manages to slip in a statement about the incompetency of both government officials and business companies.

I was looking forward to The Informant I sometimes like Soderbergh movies. Even when they are off-beat there's usually something that appeals about them, but not here.

Fun and sad. Well played.

Matt Damon proves once again that he is the most versatile actor in Hollywood. I'm not sure any other actor can play a psycho in The Talented Mr.

This movie is pretty average all round. However, I have to give credit where it is due.

They had written "unbelievable" on the poster. And that's what this true story was.

As a senior executive for the food processing conglomerate known as Archer Daniels Midland, "Mark Whitaker" (Matt Damon) informs his boss "Mick Andreas" (Tom Papa) that a saboteur has deliberately disrupted the bio-chemical process of a special project which has resulted in the loss of $7 million in the last 3 months. To that effect, Whitaker then states that the source of his information is willing to provide the name of the mole-for a price of $10 million.

The Informant (2009): Dir: Steven Soderbergh / Cast: Matt Damon, Scott Bakula, Joel McHale, Melanie Lynskey, Ann Dowd: Provocative dark comedy about whistle blower Mark Whitacre and his association with the F.B.
