Do the right thing?
Based on a true story, “The Informant!” out on DVD, has Matt Damon playing an insider playing an outsider playing an insider. Huh? That’s right. He isn’t quite sure what he’s doing, either. Damon gives a seriously funny, slightly disturbing performance. This timely movie delves into corporate responsibility. R. 1 hour, 48 minutes.
Join the circus
