Summary: Great
Review: Life on top at N.U.R.V. is truly an exhilariting feeling, with pay beyond the ordinary minds comprehension. Milo Hoffman is in his next-generation cubical on the NURV campus coding NURV's latest project, Synapse. Milo comes home one night to find that his best friend, Teddy Chin, has been murdered by a brutal racist duo. Milo discovers some interesting information about the two, including how they had nothing to do with it. It's an epic tale of corruption at the big leagues. Trust no one. Everyone should see this movie, but don't trust me...See for yourself and purchase this miraculous work.

Summary: Have N.U.R.V.? Log In For a Sunday Afternoon!
Review: Once upon a time there was a boy named Bill Gates who...Hey wait, that's not Bill Gates! This is a fun movie for anyone who liked the movie The Net. I myself like a good computer suspense thriller with a cute hero. This movie is about a hero named Milo (Ryan Phillippe) who discovers that not everyone is as idealistic in the real world of the corporate computer business . It's got all the fun elements--flirting, jealousy, Gary Winston (aka Tim Robbins, aka 'Bill Gates' persona), backstabbing, and of course the hero's journey to reveal the truth. If you want a good movie for a Sunday afternoon flick--this is it. Rent this for no other reason than to see some awesome art on the walls--you'll know what I mean after you watch it!

Summary: Good techno-thriller despite Anti-corporate subtext
Review: This is a credible techno-thriller that goes a bit too far in its anti-corporate message, but is highly entertaining nonetheless. Milo Hoffman (Ryan Phillipe) is a boy genius who lands a job as an elite programmer for the most prodigious technology firm in the world (clearly patterned after Microsoft). His tech genius friends are disappointed that he sold out to the corporate behemoth. They believe that all source code should be non-proprietary (translation: programs that programmers create should be free for everyone to use). This is where the liberal political subtext gets preachy and inane. Corporations = Evil, Little Guys = Good. Milo is recruited by the Chairman of the company, Gary Winston (Tim Robbins) to work on developing the software for the satellite system that Winston will use to take over the world. Milo is taken in by Winston and the entire culture, until he discovers that Winston is stealing code from other developers through the use of surveillance cameras, and that Winston had one of his best friends killed. Despite the implausible workup, the film then shifts into high gear and provides a thrill-a-minute roller coaster ride of intrigue and suspense where Milo is racing against time to prevent the satellite system from going online. There are a lot of scenes that stretch credulity, but not so bad as to be ridiculous. Industry insiders will enjoy the codehead jokes. The acting is mixed. Ryan Phillipe is not terribly believable as a computer geek. Phillipe has yet to transcend his well-earned teen idol status as the hottie from "54" and "Cruel Intentions". But his pouty good looks and demeanor were a mismatch with his geeky character. His nerdy friends are far better cast than he. Claire Forlani ("Meet Joe Black", "Boys and Girls") gives another fine performance as Milo's duplicitous girlfriend. Rachel Leigh Cook ("She's All That") is another actor who is out of her element. She is cute, but unbelievable as a supergeek. Tim Robbins must have relished this role. He plays Gary Winston, in an unabashed caricature of Bill Gates. They were shameless in creating Winston's home to be identical to the description Gates gave of his own home in his book. Robbins, who is a vociferous and fanatical leftist that frequently and publicly yearns for America to become a Socialist society, threw himself into this lampoon of the techno-corporate culture. His performance is outstanding, deftly hiding his maniacal nature with a reasonable corporate demeanor. If you can get beyond the mocking anti-corporate subtext, you will find this to be an enjoyable thriller. I rated it a 7/10. Software developers will probably enjoy this film greatly.

Summary: A good geek flick
Review: Being a techie myself, I thought this movie kept my attention long enough to keep the unrealistic plot where it belonged - behind the nerdy stuff. The acting was so-so but what do you expect from Hollywood actors trying to be something they aren't? Tim Robbins was very plastic and inconsistent; the plot twists were fairly predictable and the attempts at humor didn't work very well. Otherwise, I really enjoyed watching the gadgetry and *real* programming screenshots. For once, Hollywood didn't fabricate stupid looking futuristic computer screens and peripherals. I also have a better appreciation for the open source community than before. Nothing against Microsoft, though, because MS is an American company (read capitalistic) from the ground up and has earned money the American way. I love the line, "All it takes is some kid in a garage to knock down N.U.R.V..." (paraphrased) Ah, the American dream lives!!

Summary: Trust no one
Review: This isn't a bad movie! It is real high-tech with some great scenes. Even though it was dismissed by critics and video renters, it's a great film. It's good for Saturday night entertainment when there's nothing on TV. This video rules!

Summary: Entertaining, Conspiracy Thriller
Review: Ryan Phillippe and Tim Robbins star in this technological conspiracy thriller that seems to eerily touch close to home with todays events. A Bill Gates type computer genius (Robbins) with a company that has dominated the software market, NERVE, is being pressured by the U.S department of justice on anti-trust laws. The company now seeks new employees, new employees with the skill and creative instinct to put out its new communications software to make millions. Phillippes is a computer geek that works in his garage and gets hired to join the company, but soon finds out its darker motive. A good film, exciting, beleivable.

Summary: fun cyber thriller
Review: "Antitrust" is yet another in an increasingly long line of cyber-techno thrillers designed to scare the be-Jesus out of the paranoiacs among us - particularly those who fear that computer technology provides the perfect tool for ending personal privacy as we know it. Certainly, "Enemy of the State" remains as the high watermark of the genre, but "Antitrust's attempt to cope with some of the same themes, albeit on a somewhat smaller scale, yields some impressive results. Like most movies made in the capitalistic US of A, "Antitrust" seems oddly derisive and suspicious of the corporate-world mentality. Thus, we are not really surprised to find that this film, like so many others, demonizes the entrepreneurial spirit as it glorifies youthful virtue and ingenuity. Tim Robbins plays a dark version of Bill Gates, an overgrown computer geek who has parleyed his nerdishness into a multi-billion dollar software monopoly. Here again we have a successful business executive portrayed as a nefarious single-minded villain up against the morally virtuous youthful genius, Milo, played by a bland Ryan Phillipe. Given the predictability of the premise, "Antitrust" scores as a generally effective thriller thanks to its many genuinely impressive plot twists and turns and its ability to generate suspense in a number of crucial scenes. The film manages to keep us guessing at every turn. Like Milo, we are never entirely sure whom we can and cannot trust. And Robbins provides such a crafty villain - part Machiavellian genius, part emotionally stunted adolescent - that he rivets our attention in any scene in which he happens to appear. This is more than can be said for Milo, who as a central figure and heroic protagonist, fails to engage our interest to any great extent. Luckily, the details of the plot do that for us. I would be remiss if I did not take special note of the extraordinary art direction and set decoration that adorn the film. The look of the film perfectly reflects the cyber-world plasticity around which these people center their lives. "Antitrust" doesn't exactly break new ground in its rather recent but already overworked genre - but the speed, energy and creativity with which the film approaches its subject make it a satisfying entertainment.
