The Informant

The reviews of this movie were good. Apparently, Matt Damon really shined playing the role of the lead character. Newspapers, websites, all screamed, "Go and watch it!"

And so we did.

But did we like it?

Let me put it this way.

1. Wait for the DVD
2. BB fell asleep 4 times in the movie

It wasn't a bad script to be honest. Reviews touted the dry wit and humour. But having too much narration and the wit being too wry too often do take a toll on your patience.

One major problem of the movie (which I attribute as being the reason BB fell asleep 4 times) is because the movie had no crests, pits or exciting sections. It was banal and flat-lined throughout. Instead, you spend too much brain power processing the storyline and trying to link earlier scenes to the later plot.

On the plus side, it did work your brain. On the minus side, waiting for the DVD, where you can go back to an earlier scene to make sense of the whole movie, makes more sense.

I give it a 4.5 / 10.

Wait for the DVD.
