I'll see anything Damon is in and I enjoy Soderbergh when he's not doing his "experimental" thing...

I had a chance to see this tonight. I thought it was pretty funny, just think Fargo. I kept thinking about how much Matt Damon reminded me of Jerry Lundegaard. Thumbs up.

Any Soderbergh is worth my attention ..... well, as long as it doesn't have the word ocean's in the title, and doesn't need to be shown in two parts.

"Why 0014? Because I'm twice as smart as 007!" 
This could end up being one of those trailers that people talk about years from now. "That's right, CORN!" had me laughing hysterically. A definite see for me. Also, Buster is in it!
Movie itself looks like the son of Michael Clayton and The Big Lebowski.

some one-sheet gems coming out in 09 so far. that's one of them. I love how this has gone from The Informant to "The Informant!".

This is seriously going to be the funniest movie of all time for people that have read the book. The book is not funny. The book is sordid and twisted, and reads like a Tom Clancy novel at times.

I saw a screening of this last night. Variety review is pretty much spot-on. Matt Damon is great in this.
