Acerca deste filme

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.

This movie is my family to the T. This movie is a PERFECT example as to why I just shut up. This is so funny to anyone that has gone through trauma and drama , you think to yourself, just speak up then you realize everything that has been told to you is exactly like this character Matt Damon! The movie: Fantastic! Funny even though it ought to be scary, serious; you can't help laugh @ the total lies lies lies yeah! Just kidding , nah seriously! Good flick!

Hated this movie I kept waiting for it to get better and it never did. Can't believe it has such high reviews. It was horrible

I like the main character. Matt Damon did a phenomenal job!
