I was 100% pleased with Antitrust.I ran across it late one night on cable or something like that,and well that was enough for me to watch it a record 31 times now.I know EVERY line,seem boring to you?well every time i watch it,i seem to see more n more,only problem is i am dying to find out who the darn artist is when Milo and his "Girlfriend" i wont spoil that one,i AM tempted though cos I saw her in the artist movie "Basquit" -think my spellings off but i dont real much care for her and her performances BUT she did on ok job here with her pouting and crap.Ryan rocked he did a great job it was nice to see him play the "good GUY" for a change also cos all i remember him from is the "summer i told you"-pun big time flick...but i am in love with this movie hate his wife(in real life YUCK MAN!) oh and love him plus Tim Robbins was excellent...a great movie that its actually wantes me to go into the computer science field instead of the graphic one-i AM an artist-although he does like to brag.LOL.my ??? finally is WHO is the artist at Garys house when milo and alice go to Garys "Fundraiser" party.The one who keeps apearing on the screens(dont bill gates have something like that???)if anyone can help Id appreciate since i do tattoo flash comic work and my fav. artist not if it matters is DALI..so i would LOVE to know who did that work that keeps flashing when Milo is getting those IP address's from garys house -party - fundraiser-whatever..oh and i am glad they DIDNT put leigh cook to sleep with him great editing,although watching it enogh you can see where they shopuldve put maybe another little thing to fill it up.one minute-nightime they talking then its morning and there getting gasolie-hmmmm??

Movie Review: Geeks and Non-Geeks Will Enjoy!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is quite well done. I do believe that it is a thinly veiled shot at Microsoft (a bit of an exaggeration to get the point across that a company that huge can be rather evil). The cast is rather impressive. Tim Robbins, made up to look suspiciously like Bill Gates, was amazing as "Gary Winston," the C.E.O. of N.E.R.V., a software giant only comparable to that of the likes of Microsoft. Ryan Phillippe, plays "Milo Hoffman," a Stanford educated computer geek, who is hired by N.E.R.V. to complete work on the ultimate piece of media software called "Synapse." Milo's girlfriend, played by "Mallrats" veteran Claire Forlani, is rather good in her role. Rachael Leigh Cook, from "She's All That" is amazing too! I think that she gets better in every movie she is in.This movie takes some pretty good twists and turns. It boils down to be murder mystery with a little bit of fighting "Big Brother." Generally, I am not a fan of suspense. It annoys me, because generally we always know which way it is heading. "Antitrust" has great suspense. It is never over-the-top. The movie can be rather unpredictable.
This movie is everything that movies like "Hackers" lack. It is obviously not going to be perfect representation of the Information Technology industry, but it is remarkably close (and really, that would was too close it would probably be bad for business). There are no flashy graphics when it comes to how the code and computers are used. Unlike "Hackers," geeks are geeks here; it isn't the rave scene going around playing computer "Robin Hoods." Not to say that there is too much "geek stuff" in the movie, but what is there looks and feels like the real thing.
"Antitrust" is the best tech movie I have ever seen. The cast is perfect. I have watched this DVD probably twenty times and have yet to tire seeing it. I recommend it to everyone I know in IT, and most anyone else too. The movie is top-shelf material.
Movie Review: A thrill ride!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Antitrust" is the best cyber-flick I've seen in years. It's suspenseful, fast-pased, and just incredibly entertaining. Ryan Phillippe stars as Milo Hoffman, a young computer genius who gets the opportunity of a lifetime: working for the highest-ranked computer company in the world, N.U.R.V. His best friend (also a computer geek), gets the job position, too...but rejects it because he feels as though the company's owner, Gary Winston (Tim Robbins) will stop at nothing to stay at the top. So Milo takes his girlfriend, Alice (Claire Forlani), and they move out to the N.U.R.V. campus and he takes the job. It's only a few weeks in his new job position when he learns that his best friend was brutally murdered, and then he finds out that the murder may be linked to his new company! Now it's up to Milo to take all the knowledge he has to help bring down the N.U.R.V. company and stop Winston from destroying peoples' lives.The acting is great from the entire cast...especially Ryan Phillippe, who is probably in one of his best roles yet. Rachael Leigh Cook plays Lisa, a smart girl who also works for the N.U.R.V. company and tries to help Milo. Tim Robbins, as always, is superb as the power-hungry company owner. The supporting cast is also excellent.
The DVD is really good, because it includes an Everclear music video, deleted scenes with director's commentary, and a featurette on computer crimes and such. The screenplay was well-written, and the film was engaging.
I recommend this for everybody who enjoys computer crime flicks!
Final Grade: A
Movie Review: Worth watching! Despite flaws movie is terric, suspenseful!
Summary: 5 Stars
Did the characters seem believable in this movie? Let's see- Ryan Phillippe, the ultimate "pretty boy" playing a computer genius, come on! Still, if you can keep from focusing on certain details and just watch this movie for its entertainment value, this is a good film.The themes throughout the movie speak about important topics such as using talents for good instead of just working for material purposes and other ethical questions. I found the storyline about how computer information should be made readily available to everyone instead of a tool for monopolistic individuals (Bill Gates, definitely!) quite intriguing I do not really believe any of the events that took place could actually happen, but the object of must stories in books or movies is to create a fictional setting and have compelling characters, creative storytelling, etc. unless the events are based on actual events. I would compare this movie to WESTWORLD where the technological advances are beyond present day capabilities, but most aspects of present day society are similar to those of the late twentieth century/ early twenty-first century. I found the movie suspenseful and couldn't stop watching it until I got to the end. I cannot give the same approval to the majority of movies being made now.
Movie Review: Antitrust
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was out in the theater for a few weeks before I finally gave in and went to see it. I originally tried to shy away from this because of the obvious "teen-appeal", but sometimes I can't help myself when it comes to computer geek movies. As it turns out, I enjoyed this emmensly and consider this a fast-paced techno-thriller that should appeal to anyone with an interest in suspense.Recent college grad, Milo, is recruited by Gary Winston to join a team of talented programmers working for the dominate software giant. The goal is to finish the code for Winston's satalite uplink system that will allow anyone with a cell phone, computer, or television to communicate in real time across all formats. When Milo's best friend is found murdered while on the verge of an incredible technological breakthrough, Milo begins to suspect that the prestigious company he works for as well as those around him may not be as honorable as he thinks.
Great suspense-thriller that really never got the attention it deserved. Give it a try.
