Review: The Informant!

If Up In the Air is Clooney doing Danny Ocean as a corporate downsizer, then The Informant! is Matt Damon revisiting the guise of the bumbling gambling official he played briefly in Ocean's Eleven and trying to do his own con of a lifetime.

The film itself is far too quirky at times, with a Damon's silly asides providing laughs but the silly score ruining the mood of the piece. The film would be much better as The Informant, without the stupid touches like the exclamation mark to spoil what was an interesting story.
