both steven soderbergh and matt damon are great. this movie has them teaming up once again, and the hilarious trailer and website had me real excited for it.i had a great time watching this movie. i had a slight fear going in that a lot of the funnier scenes would be spoiled being in the trailers but thankfully this film was chalked full of really funny stuff. the way damon would narrate his character's thoughts was ridicolous and laugh at loud funny. these completely random moments often occurred during very crucial serious points of the film, which made it all the funnier. off hand, the polar bear contemplation along with the observation of the ants are my favorite moments the character has in thought. the whistleblower plot was interesting enough to keep the story moving. it did tend to drag a bit toward the middle/end but i did not have any trouble keeping attention to it. the best and funniest scenes of the film are when damon begins to do his undercover work.
i loved the way, the 90s feel was pulled off by the very yellowing tone used by the camera, and damon's hair along with his wardrobe. damon is fantastic along with the rest of the cast. i was particularly happy to see arrested development's buster bluth, tony hale, in the role as damon's lawyer; as always he was hilarious.
this was a great late summer movie. it was really funny, had a decent plot and good acting. i definitely recommend it to soderbergh or matt damon fans, or even cohen brother fans, because it had shades of their funnier work in it.
