The Informant!
A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Mark Whitacre 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.
Critics Sentiment
Whitacre's own nine million dollar embezzlement scheme exposed
Whitacre makes false assault claims against Agent Shepard
The revelation of Whitacre's embezzlement creates the biggest positive swing from 7.1 to 8.1, as critics universally praised this genuinely shocking plot twist.
The film maintains solid reviewer sentiment throughout most of its runtime, building effectively to the major embezzlement revelation that critics found genuinely surprising and well-executed. However, the final act suffers as Whitacre's lies become more pathetic than entertaining, with some critics noting the stylistic choices and pacing issues prevent it from reaching its full potential.
