<p>Every once in a while a movie comes completely out of the blue to make your must-see list. That looks to be the case with Steven Soderbergh's <a href="../../events/2009-1-5-the-informant" target="_self">"The Informant." </a><br /><br />As the trailer below reveals, this farce finds Damon playing an informant for a big corporate company that specializes in corn-based products. When the government asks him to become a snitch he goes completely overboard because, well, he appears to be a complete dufus. Plus, the flick features the big screen return of the one and only Scott Bakula. What's not to like?<br /><br /><a href="../../events/2009-1-5-the-informant" target="_self">"The Informant"</a> opens nationwide September 18.</p>
