Matt Damon delights in The Informant!

I used to consider Steven Soderbergh a genius until he began to make those inanely awful Ocean’s films. Who else but a genius could have made Sex Lies and Videotape at age 26, and followed it up with films like Schizopolis, KAFKA, Gray’s Anatomy and Out of Sight? Soderbergh often acts as cinematographer for his films usually under the assumed name of Peter Andrews, and also edits most of his films – usually under the assumed name Mary Ann Bernard, and has also written the screenplays for several of his films!!! Films like The Limey and Erin Brokovich only cemented the deal – until Ocean’s happened. So I was not looking forward much to seeing The Informant! until I found out it was about the Archer Daniels Midland corporation, high fructose corn-syrup, based on a true story and about Lysine production – who can resist such scintillating stuff?
