Summary: Wonder what Bill G. thought of this?
Review: If you liked the movie like I did, then you need to read the book "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" by Steven Levy. Both are about the "Hacker Ethic", where information should be free to the world without corporate obstacles. The movie itself was pretty suspenseful, and I intend to add this to my library...not because of the acting (Ryan who?), but the story line is right up my ally...techno conspiracy paranoia. Rates up there with "The Net" and "Enemy of the State".

Summary: A sleazy slam at a software giant
Review: A one star rating is much too high. I wish I could give this film negative stars, because that's what it deserves. This flick exploits a popular notion that the only way a company can succeed brilliantly is by indulging in nefarious activities. I have news for those who think that's true.My hope is that not too many people will "learn" what the real world of success requires from watching this thing; our country's economy is bad enough as it is.

Summary: Suspenseful Yes...Believable, Not Really
Review: It's doubtful the folks at Microsoft would look at Peter Yates' "Antitrust" with wild glee. Not would they add this overblown yet entertaining DVD to their film collection. In the film, baby-faced Ryan Phillipe plays a computer genius/ Stanford grad who's developed an Internet Start Up program. Soon after the film opens, his character finds work at NURV, a giant software company headed by power hungry Tim Robbins. Before long, computer geeks are being murdered causing Phillipe to sneak about the company looking for clues that link NURV to the murders. What follows is good, clean, suspenseful fun, the kind Hollywood film studios are famous for. You have to stretch your imagination every five or ten minutes. Otherwise, you'll just sit there thinking "God, I hate this movie. God, I hate this movie." Phillippe plays his nerdy character intensely. It's his best work to date. But considering the umpteenth flops he's starred in, this isn't necessarily a compliment.

Summary: I wish I knew computers this well...
Review: This is a fun movie to watch, it has action and different people interacting, and they are all revolving around computers and the 'conspiracy' that's going on at the computer company 'N.U.R.V.' Gary Winston, the head of this company will do anything to meet the goal set to open his ambitious project of a global communications type service. He clearly didn't forsee how central character Milo Hoffman would react when he suspects something is wrong at NURV. His best friend and fellow computer genious is killed and that drives him to discover how Gary is collecting all his data for his project. Milo finds it hard to trust anyone after he uncovers secrets about his supposed friends.
I like the movie overall... the music, plot, and characters. The extras included, like the commentary and especially the deleted scenes, were really interesting to me since I enjoyed the movie. It was suspenseful and has plot twists that did make it more interesting and was overall an enjoyable movie that I do recommend viewing atleast.

Summary: Mediocre Conspiracy Story
Review: Am I the only one who felt like he was watching version of "The Firm" made for computer programmers? Young hot-shot, fresh out of school, gets this great job opportunity. The company throws money, perks, and special treatment at him and persuades him to join up. But once he reports in and actually starts working, he begins to get that uncomfortable feeling that there is more to the company than meets the eye. It's not exactly the same story, though. The mob isn't involved, and our hero, Milo, is more interested in bringing down the bad guys than in feathering his own nest. But it's mostly pretty predictable, and the parallels between corporate giant NURV, its CEO (with his elaborate coastal mansion), its Justice Department investigation, its large corporate "campus" in the Pacific Northwest, and a major real-world software giant are unmistakable. These guys, however, are doing stuff Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, et al have never even imagined. On top of it all, NURV has also managed to manipulate and infiltrate everywhere. If the plot of "Anti-Trust" is a little "over the top", that isn't the only problem. The acting is mediocre, as well. Ryan Phillippe as a computer genius is pretty hard to swallow. Tim Robbins plays the evil NURV CEO about like MisterRogers might. The rest of the cast is just so-so. "Anti-Trust" is a mildly interesting drama. I can't imagine any reason for wanting to see it more than once, though. I recently reviewed "What Women Want" and gave it three stars. I'm giving "Anti-Trust" three stars, too, but the two certainly aren't equal. "What Women Want" is a strong three stars (3 plus), while "Anti-Trust" is a weak three stars (3 minus). Just my opinion, but don't buy this movie unless you've seen it already and are sure you want it.

Summary: This Is An Awesome Video!!
Review: I went to this movie when it came out in January and I saw it two more times after that! Now, you are probably thinking, Why see it 3 times? Well, this movie is really, really good and it keeps your attention the whole time! I suggest that you rent it and maybe even bye it! This is an awesome movie!
