Critics consensus

“A charismatic turn by star Matt Damon and a consistently ironic tone boost this quietly funny satire about a corporate whistle-blower.”

Although not a blockbuster, The Informant is an interesting, diverting film.

RTMarie ClaireOct 11, 2017

With [Matt] Damon, they share something more exciting than looks: a slow-burning intelligence that leaves us feeling both unsettled and seduced.

RTThe RumpusSep 18, 2017

Like Soderbergh's Ocean's 11 series, The Informant! is a funny movie with no jokes.

Informant!’s cheerful tone, in 2026, feels toothless and too blasé.
