Matt Damon stars in this extremely funny film which is based on the true story of Marc Whitacre, who was the biggest whistle blower in American corporate history. Whitacre was slowly but surely moving up the ladder at the head quarters of the agricultural industry giant ADM, but when he finds out about his companies illegal price fixing scam he decides to become the saviour of corporate America by going to the FBI with what he knows. Thinking that he can become a secret agent (' I'm 0014, as I'm twice as good as James Bond') he hides a tape recorder in his briefcase and gathers evidence for the feds. Damon, who put on a lot of weight and a moustache for the role, is extremely entertaining as the hapless Whitacre. With great supporting cast, including Buster from 'Arrested Development', Steven Soderberg shows that he can do mainstream just as well as he does art-house cinema.
