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.

Definitely confession at Holy Rosary 40 years ago.
HAD TO KEEP A SECRET FROM MY SON'S GIRLFRIEND ABOUT HIM BEING MARRIED THREE TIMES BEFORE SO SHE WOULD STILL GO OUT WITH HIM.
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!
I was dating this one girl and it wasnt workin out so well. Then one night, me and her twin sister hooked up. Needless to say, that was a tough secret to keep hidden.
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.
