#17 The Informant
In Matt Damon's best ever spy film, we find him going undercover in the world of spice manufacturing to stop the global threat of food price fixing. Ok maybe that's not quite the story but its very close in this fun movie based on the crazy life of Mark Whitacre. If you want a very good background in the story listen to the radio broadcast that inspired the movie 8 years ago. It can be found at This American Life
i really enjoyed the film and really only saw one problem. I don't quite understand Steven Soderbergh's use of '70s inspired music and transitions fr a film that takes place in the 1990s. Otherwise the film is great.
Highly recommended

have you read the book? i read it years ago, and then re-read it again after i saw the movie. i might love it even more then i loved the movie, because i just can't possibly believe everything that weird could have possibly happened in real life.
no i haven't read it. After hearing the This American Life feature with the author it seems as though it would be a great read, i'll have to add it to the list
