The Informant! The Informant! R
I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this film and was quite surprised by Matt Damon's subtle yet intriguing performance as well as the fine direction from Soderbergh and fantastic musical score. It is sharper than fellow conspiracy film "Burn After Reading," and stands on its own with more serious and gritty whistleblower films like "The Insider," and "Michael Clayton."

Although it was quickly forgotten at the box office and dismissed by a number of reviewers, I would definitely recommend this little gem. I can only hope that it is a sign of what's to come with Steven Soderbergh. Maybe a return to the glory days of films like "The Limey," and "Out of Sight," and "Erin Brockovich." Check out the amazing supporting cast as well, including Scott Bakula, Joel McHale, and Patton Oswalt.

This is truly a great satirical film. Billy Wilder created another gem with this underrated comedy that takes shots at everything from capitalism to communism. James Cagney gives a spot-on performance as the truly "ugly American" playing a Coca-Cola executive that must watch his boss's naive and flirtatious daughter.

The pace of the film is truly remarkable and the one-liners are packed in so tighty, you will certainly need multiple viewings to catch it all. I would place it on the same level as Kubrick's masterfully-crafted "Dr. Strangelove." Both films are sharply written and manage to convey the absurdity surrounding the Cold War and the "Red Scare."

I would highly recommend "One, Two, Three" to anyone looking for an intelligent biting comical romp.
