The Informant!

Seen at: Cinema Saver 6 in Ft. Collins, 8:45 p.m. on Nov. 2

This movie is really two movies. The first half is about a guy who works as an executive at Archer Daniels Midland and who after discovering high-level corporate corruption, and decides to expose it. The second half is about...uh...well, something else.

In any case, I'm not sure what this movie was really supposed to be saying in the end. It felt very confusing, and not in a good way. Perhaps it was just too clever for me.

Also, I couldn't help noticing that although the movie was set in the early 1990s, the art direction and costumes seemed to recall the 1970s. It felt anachronistic. Perhaps that was part of the cleverness of the movie that went over my head.

Verdict: entertaining at times, but a bit...off.
