The Informant!, Steven Soderbergh, 2009

Soderbergh's tall tale of an unwitting FBI informant never quite finds its footing, failing to balance its plot's considerable surprises with the requisite explication, import, or comedic timing. Likewise, Matt Damon is neither funny or cunning enough as the titular buffoon, himself an exceedingly odd conflation of Michael Clayton and Jerry Lundegaard.
