Der Informant!

While amusing rather than hilarious, it ought to establish Matt Damon as a star character actor.

...et underdrejet, humanistisk, kulsort, tragikomisk portræt af et højst kompliceret menneske.

...earn its exclamation point with giggles as well as shock, and the results are thoroughly entertaining.

...as Soderbergh lovingly peels away veil after veil of deception, the film develops into an unexpected human comedy. Not that any of the characters are laughing.

Damon is rock solid as the pudgy, toupé-wearing informant, as is Lynskey as his loving wife.

...man, i egenskap av tittare, tror att man vet mer än karaktärerna. När man senare visar sig vara lika vilsen som alla andra har Soderbergh fångat ens intresse för gott.
