content: I wanted to like this movie. I usually like Matt Damon movies and I know one of the agents this movie is about. I was really looking forward to seeing this. The problem is the movie just can't decide whether it is a serious piece covering the very interesting true story of an informant with huge problems of his own or whether it is a comedy or a spoof. It does a poor job of being funny and a poor job of being serious. Another reviewer called the movie "quirky." That is a good description, but not in the sense that some movies are good because they are quirky. This is quirky in the sense that the director just doesn't seem to have a clear vision of what this movie is intended to be.
