The term suspension of disbelief was invented for the idea that Ryan Phillippe could be a computer genius. As Milo, a slacker brainiac recruited by smilingly ominous software giant Gary Winston (Tim Robbins) to help build a global communications system, Phillippe still looks like a million bucks. He is also still doing the clenched, pouty grown-up voice that he always uses to show that he means business in this acting stuff (he's nothing if not earnest), and a pair of designer glasses completes the transformation. He's well matched in Antitrust by Claire Forlani, who, in turn, spends time pursing her lips and squinting her dewy eyes as Milo's troubled girlfriend, an artist who proves to be a liability when Milo discovers that Winston is killing off clever competitors like a dot-com führer. Robbins, looking like David Letterman, seems willing to either take his role dead seriously or goof around a bit, but director Peter Howitt doesn't know how to play any of it (the actor was better used as a grinning madman in another flawed paranoid thriller, the underseen Arlington Road). Without any underlying menace or enough satirical bite to keep it interesting, the whole thing slips by passively in a mindless matinee kind of way until the over-the-top finale. Production designer Catherine Hardwicke has had some big, glossy fun creating Winston's campus and ornate private kingdom, and there's the cheapest of kicks in seeing Robbins's Bill Gates taken down publicly, but the film is definitely junior league. --Steve Wiecking

Rating:  - It does its job; nothing more, nothing less...
I remember when this movie was first released. It looked interesting and exciting to me and so I saw it in the theater, and I enjoyed it. It's not a great movie; the plot is farfetched and one dimensional and the acting is flawed, but the film is entertaining none-the-less. This is the definition of popcorn fluff; simple yet exciting and serviceable.
`Antitrust' tells the story of computer genius Milo Hoffman who plans to open an open-source site for the public with his friends, especially ... Read More
Rating: - The 'Net in the Northwest
"Antitrust" is a fun little B movie mainly set in beautiful Portland,Oregon. Ryan Philippe stars as geeky boy genius,Milo, from Stanford. He gets an offer he can't refuse from techno mogul,Gary Winston (Tim Robbins) Claire Forlani stars as his concerned,and slightly creepy girlfriend Alison.
When Milo goes to Portland,he meets the equally geeky Lisa (Rachael Leigh Cook),who seems to take more than a casual interest in him because he's now Gary's protege. Gary, in the meantime,is crafting Synapse,his ... Read More
Rating: - Nice little enjoyable film
AntiTrust is a film that all cyber geeks can relate to. The film stared a then up and coming Ryan Phillpee as Milo a computer hacker who goes to work for a company that isn't what it seems. The film is fast paced and one of my favorite actors Tim Robbins makes a great villian.
Rating:  - High-tech thriller you don't have to be a geek to enjoy
Creative and interesting plot with many twists and surprises in terms of just who is good and who is part of the criminal conspiracy to steal programmer's code and to then kill any programmer who is ahead of the company N.U.R.V. in developing a system to link the world's communication devices through a series of linked satellites. Suspend disbelief in how sophisticated the survelliance of programmers at work and marvel at the plausible explanations to deny accountability and justify whatever "creative" means are ... Read More
Rating:  - NOT BEYOND REALITY
Call me an alarmist, but I see in this movie much more than an updated "Goldfinger" movie circa 1965.No, I'm afraid I see an updated '7 Days in May" intellect, controlled by brilliant, unstable,neo-Nazi civilian elements.Think about it. Robbins wants to be the first person to be able to control global communications and will go to any desperate measures possible to attain his objective. Were it not for Phillippe, he would have pulled it off. Most pictures involving "takeovers"in the past have involved ... Read More
