The Informant! is an interesting comedy staring Matt Damon who gives a surprisingly great performance. Steven Soderbergh also directed the Ocean's series, but as you may expect from a director as versatile as him, this film is completely different than them. This wacky, twisting, espionage movie starts out slowly but slowly escalates until it explodes in the final act into chaos. The type of comedy it employs is not joke based comedy but comedy that becomes funnier when you think of the plot as a whole. It isn't laugh-out-loud funny but it is more of the type of thing in which you find your self giggling as you exit the theater. There is another side to the plot of this movie also, one that I don't really want to give away but it really makes the movie. If it ended in a more conventional Hollywood way it would not be nearly as satisfying as it was in the end.
