saw: the informant!
When it's good, The Informant! is the kind of sunny, unblinking satire Alexander Payne used to make. When it lags, you become acutely aware of the pointless cameos by stand-up comics; production design that's mired in the Seventies despite being set in the Nineties; the fact that no real effort is made to examine the main character beyond his numbskull-cipher charades; and that there's no way said numbskull could have watched the 1993 thriller The Firm at a suburban multiplex circa 1995 (well, it bugged me, at any rate).
