 Very entertaining but doubtless won't watch it again. |

Matt Damon does his usual excellent acting job in this tale of a sociopathic biochemist/businessman.
The film style is rather quirky with an extraordinary soundtrack and stylistic settings in the Midwestern United States. I was kept interested right through the film by new revelations a propos Whitaker's embezzlements.
The tale progresses from Whitaker outward to be a blameless whistle-blower to being the creative force in his own small 10 million dollar fraud scheme, while the company he worked for ripped consumers off for hundreds of millions in price fixing.
If you are a matt Damon fan I reckon you will delight in this film. |

| This is a evident movie and when I say evident, I mean it won't appeal to most but it beyond doubt appealed to me. I found the plot line believable, found the tale's pace excellent...I liked Matt Damon's portrayal... |

| I went into this expecing quirky from director Steven Soderbergh. It is not supposed to be a predictable white collar crime drama. I loved the voice over with the main character just giving random thoughts, even in the most ridiculous perspective of what was experience to him at the time. It is not action packed, drama filled but it is a pleasant black comedy with Matt Damon given a realy discreet routine. Not laugh out loud amusing but surely brings you into the period of the early 1990's and tells the right tale of a guy who was living in another world in his head. |
Film fascinating-SOUND on streaming/Mac was very low!

Just a tech conundrum with the film, but a sticky one since I rented this to watch with friend & didn't have decent external speakers available: the sound was MUCH lower than in most Amazon rentals on my MacBook Pro. Annoying glitch that I will be careful about in the future.
The film itself is a Soderbergh 3 star. If you like his work the unreliable reporter trope will delight you-and Matt Damon is just fun & convincing. Many of the supporting cast turn in droll performances as well. |
