Summary: Trust your instincts on this one
Review: Antitrust defines the word typical very well. It has "B" movie written all over it. When I thought I'd rent Antitrust, I knew I was taking a chance. Everything was so formulaic. The acting, which was poor, hurt the movie a lot. Ryan Phillippe is a good actor, but he doesn't have the stuff to carry a movie all by himself. I was highly disappointed in the quality of Tim Robbins acting. It has seemed his film career has really taken off lately, but it takes a step back with the making of Antitrust. The directing was OK, but nothing to brag about. But I did think Milo (Phillippe) figured everything out way to quickly. And the bad guy/good guy was easy to figure out. Everything was so predictable. The music choices for the film were terrible. Putting Alternative/Pop music into a movie automatically makes me take the movie less seriously. I now know why Antitrust was on the bottom shelf at Blockbuster. 2 Stars

Summary: Pathetic casting
Review: What pathetic casting. My first comment when I saw Claire Forlani cast as the love interest was "Hello. Way too old to be dating a just graduated hacker geek". So of course she was the bad girl working for the bad guys. If they had cast Rachel Leigh Cook as the love interest then maybe it would have been a surprise what her character was really about. Jeez, who was the casting agent for this movie?? Horrible.

Summary: Watch out Bill Gates, Tim Robbings is in the house!
Review: Alotta people didn't like this movie, mainly cause it was the same thing as "The Net" or "Hackers", but I thought it was pretty good! If you love computers and hacking you'll love this movie.

Summary: Entertaining...but suspend your disbelief.
Review: This movie really is fun to watch. I'm really becoming a huge fan of Ryan Phillippe. His performance in I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER was spectacular. His performance in ANTITRUST is just as good. Always have to love Tim Robbins. The two have good chemistry.Ryan Phillippe plays a computer-science major who is graduating from Stanford as one of the top-15 programmers in the world. Tim Robbins (playing a Bill Gates-esque character) spins a web as the BLACK WIDOW of silicon valley to entice, manipulate and force Ryan Phillipe's character to create the greatest communications network in the world. Check your sensibilities of the possible...and you will find yourself enjoying this fast-paced flick.

Summary: 3 thumbs up
Review: This movie is not just for nerds who have the ability to Knock the moon out of its orbit in the blink of an eye or deactivate the scramblers on porn sights. Tim Robbins kicks ass! I don't want to reveal anything, but watch it and remember every other line, because it's all important.

Summary: Can You Give More Than 5 Stars For The Best Movie Ever?
Review: Wow. This is the best movie i've ever seen. i LOVE this movie! all of the characters didn't take more than the first half hour to warm up, and just as yu thought you knew them, OH MY GOD! and then each time anything happens, ryan phillipe, as milo (hot hot hot) is drawn closer and closer to the only one left who you can really know. and he stays that way, but you, the person watching the movie, gets SO caught up in milo and scared for him (i know tis just a movie thats why i thought it was amazing!) that you can barely breathe during the scenes in building 22 or 21 and especially in the nursury. it just is like you can't stop being afraid and then i cried (i know, i usually don't CRY in movies, though! i didn't cry at titanic...) at the end. you know, ryan phillipe is really hot. reallyyyy hot. slobber. droooool. cough, GREAT MOVIE!!!

Summary: It's not that bad, people!
Review: I actually liked this movie (contrary to most critics and viewers alike). Sure, some of it is over-the-top and cheesy, and sure, you have to suspend reality for an hour and forty eight minutes, but so what ? I found this actually to be kind of suspenseful, and although I think Claire Forlani is getting too old to play in these teen moves (i.e. Boys and Girls), I think she did a reasonable job. And who can resist Ryan Phillippe? A stretch of the imagination allows him to be a computer nerd, and he certainly acts the part. Along with Rachael Leigh Cook, this movie has a great cast, mostly convincing acting and although the plot borderlines on unbelievable, just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Summary: Best movie for the techie of today
Review: This movie is for the techie! I have never seen a movie that correctly portrayed computer programming. The suspense, action, and thrill are all there and in a big way, but the selling point for me, a computer programmer, was that I was not insulted. When you see the screen shots on the monitors, you see real C++ code. When you see Milo hacking away, you see legitimate computer lingo and screens. They mix unix, palm, and some x-windows into the movie with grace. If you, a techie, feel insulted by movies like Hackers, and even the latest, Operation: Swordfish, I recommend you try this movie out. This one is for the techie!!

Summary: great great great!
Review: this movie was wonderful. i'm a computer nerd and when i saw it in the theatre with friends and at the beginning they were scrolling code across the screen, leaned over and was like, 'i know what most of that means!' :) anyways, this nice little movie starring cutie ryan phillippe is wonderful in many aspects. first off it's semi-realistic. ok, murdering people to steal their codes is a little off the deep end...but people have murdered to get other things...so why not? it's got a little bit of romance, deception, action, and mystery. all the people that are against milo (phillippe) the most surprising one to me was rachael leigh cook (even though in retrospect it should have been obvious). Although having the security guy end up being an alli of milo's was even stranger. so, overall, i think this is one of phillippe's best movies.

Summary: Movie Gone Bad............
Review: I thought this movie might have had a lot of promise, but it just didnt present. It was not only a little bit predictable, but just plain boring. It didnt have much of a plot, and really the characters were completely non-likable. Not what I would call an A+ movie. Im sure there are other movies that might be more to your taste.
