Sodeberg's new film, a survivor from the toils of the work on Che Guevara, is likely several times to disorient the viewer. The narrative structure of the film in fact, can trace that of the same star in this true story in the U.S.. Marc Whitacre has been, in fact, a real case of U.S. financial and judicial reports of the nineties. Originally enlisted as a collaborator by the FBI in an investigation for fraud involving his own food company, in a few years Marc has come to be a con man and an inveterate liar. Happily married, rich and gratified by their chief, Marc could not, apparently, no interest in bringing to light the fraudulent strategies that his company put in place, worldwide, for monitoring of the derivatives of maize. Yet he himself propose the FBI as a collaborator, 007 a kind of hard, triggering a series of events that led him how he planned to become president of the company but directly in a federal cell. Marc, played by Matt Damon just bald and fattened to 13 pounds, invents characters, falsify documents, builds an intricate system of lies intended, however, to fall down miserably.
What appears to the protagonist as a kind of game, at one point seems to completely escape his control, to show its many identities: on the odd collaborator of justice, a hero fighting against a corrupt capitalism, with the author turn of a massive fraud by several million dollars. The film then departs immediately from a simple complaint, following the narrative together is the same mark, in a sort of continuous dialogue with the viewer, allowing us to come into direct contact with the reasoning of a sick man.
Sodebergh choose the tone of light comedy, with the constant movement of the boundary between truth and falsehood, always in pursuit of the delusion of a character evolving and unable to keep quiet.
