Makaha Valley Towers in "The Informant" Movie

My wife and I recently watched "The Informant" - a movie starring Matt Damon. The movie is based on a true story about a whistleblower at Archer Daniels Midland, a company in Decatur, Illinois.

The main character travels around the world and at one point he attends a meeting in Hawaii. The meeting and a golf outing take place at the Makaha Valley Country Club in West Oahu. In a golf scene the Makaha Valley Towers are a backdrop to the characters walking along the course. When you see the movie, keep an eye out for the Towers 'cause you'll only see them for a few seconds.

Back in the early 1990's (the period that the events in the movie occurred) this resort was actually the Sheraton Makaha. Back then I was an auditor for a CPA firm and actually audited the financials of the resort. We also had corporate events including golf outings there. It was and still is a nice resort, with great ocean views.

Well, go check it out and enjoy! You'll be surprised at how Matt Damon looks in this movie.

Aloha, Mike
