Synopsis:
What was Mark Whitacre thinking? A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Whitacre (Matt Damon) suddenly turns whistleblower. Even as he exposes his company’s multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre envisions himself being hailed as a hero of the common man and handed a promotion. But before all that can happen, the FBI needs evidence, so Whitacre eagerly agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape recorder in his briefcase, imagining himself as a kind of de facto secret agent. Unfortunately for the FBI, their lead witness hasn’t been quite so forthcoming about helping himself to the corporate coffers. Whitacre’s ever-changing account frustrates the agents (Scott Bakula and Joel McHale) and threatens the case against ADM as it becomes almost impossible to decipher what is real and what is the product of Whitacre’s active imagination.

Academy Award® winner Matt Damon (“Good Will Hunting,” the “Bourne” movies) stars in “The Informant!,” based on the true story of the highest-ranking corporate whistleblower in U.S. history. The film also stars Scott Bakula, Joel McHale and Melanie Lynskey.

“The Informant!” is directed by Academy Award® winner Steven Soderbergh (“Traffic”) from a screenplay by Scott Z. Burns, based on the book The Informant (A True Story), written by Kurt Eichenwald. The film is produced by Gregory Jacobs, Jennifer Fox, Michael Jaffe, Howard Braunstein and Kurt Eichenwald. George Clooney, Jeff Skoll and Michael London served as executive producers, with Michael Polaire co-producing.

THIS FILM IS RATED R.

    My Brother and sister-in-law each told me the same secret about their friend and told me not to tell the other that I knew. Talk about biting my lip!

    So I’m packing up my rifle on the grassy knoll, and the Cuban looks at the mob guy and says “Boy, is Fidel gonna be mad”. And the Russian says “You can’t tell anyone about this, comrade.” So we didn’t.

    I was at a wedding for one of my wife’s cousins. The best man got up for his speech and mentioned how they were a great couple and would soon be great parents. Of course, the bride’s parents had not been let in on that secret yet . . .

    My best friend grew up on a rabbit farm and his favorite pet rabbit ran away. Little did he know that his rabbit actually became part of their dinner meal. I wonder when his parents will ever tell him this

    I once had a party at my dad’s house when I was 15 or 16 and invited a few friends.
    I didn’t invite one particular friend because he tended to have constant, massive B.O. and I didn’t want to have to remind him to apply the speedstick.

    When I was pregnant, my husband and I found out we were having a boy! My husband didn’t want me to tell anyone. He wanted it to be a surprise. Well of course I had to tell my mom and my girlfriends. To this day, he doesn’t know that everyone already knew!!! My son is 12 years old!!

    My mom went on vacation one summer and left me and my siblings at home with a nasty, old babysitter. She died not too long after and we dumped her body at a funeral home and I had to get a job. I posed as a mid-20s professional and was hired as an executive assistant. I had to spend all summer keeping the kids in line, lying to mom about the babysitter AND I had to conceal the fact that I was only 17. Needless to say everyone found out about my shenanigans. In my defense I learned a lot about myself, growing up, and coming to terms with the hazy transition from teenager to responsible young adult. They even made a movie about my adventures that summer.

    I was once asked to baby sit for one of my sisters. My brother in law told my sister he had to work, but he told me he was going out with his friends. My sister told him she had to go to a school meeting, but she told me she was going out with her friends. I was told not to tell either of them the truth, what did I care, I got paid!

    This happened in my younger years and when I was dating 3 guys at once. One guy date was Fri. night. One guy was Sat. afternoon and the other guy was Sat. evening. It worked for a little while. there was even some close calls. The sat. afternoon guy was leaving and the sat. evening guy came early for his date. So after too many close calls I made a decision down to one and that was the one I married. And to this day he doesn’t know I was seeing 2 others guys. I am still married for 37 years and counting. I picked the right one. thanks,

    I kept plenty of secrets from my parents while growing up. My mother still doesn’t know that I took a 4-day road trip to Fort Lauderdale for spring break when I was 16. She thought I was staying at a friend’s house that weekend, and we got sunburned playing basketball all day long. I figured the less she knew about my teenage antics, the better – for both of us!

    I had a big party for my friend’s wedding shower and it was really hard to keep it secret and get her over to the party without letting her know. I sure hope she loved the party and all her gifts. It was hard work keeping it under wraps.
