63Becomes a very conventional suspense film, replete with virtually every cliche of the genre, some used more than once.
-
63Robbins' performance as Winston is the best thing in the movie.
-
60It's a kick to see the Tim Robbins version of the man recently described by the Microsoft trial judge as "Napoleonic" installed in a disgustingly opulent Bond-villain HQ/pad, and the overwrought Boiler Room-meets-The Game scenario is not without its own schlocky pleasures.
-
60It is ultimately more routine than provocative, despite the timeliness and seriousness of the issues it raises.
-
60I do wish Mr. Robbins's one-note co-stars had been worthy of his performance, and that some of the melodramatics hadn't been quite so slapdash.
-
58It's hooey, but it's hooey that picks up in the second half, not exactly redeeming itself but fitfully engaging.
-
50They might have been able to make a nice little thriller out of Antitrust if they'd kept one eye on the Goofy Meter.
-
50Taps into a fear hitherto unexplored by cinema: fear of Bill Gates.
-
50An example of a film that begins with a provocative idea and then runs itself into the ground with clumsy structuring.
-
50Ironically, the filmmakers seem to think the audience for this movie about super-smart people is super-dumb.
-
50While Robbins has a good time playing the boyish devil, the rest of the principals transmit on an awfully low baud rate.
-
50The plot of Antitrust is intricate and uneven, overloaded with twists and not very jolting surprises.
-
50Robbins is such a live wire that he's able to jumpstart his co-stars whenever they're interfacing onscreen.
-
50Silly but fairly harmless.
-
38An inferior factory product, cranked out with little care and less imagination, that seems all the dumber because it's pretending to be smart and topical.
-
38An unintentional high-tech hoot.
-
38Better than you might expect, if you didn't expect it to be any good.
-
30Poops out before it ever really gets going.
-
30As a film, it essentially bites.
-
30This compression of logic--coupled with two hours of ham-fisted delivery--guarantees that Antitrust won't jangle your nerves but will intermittently split your sides with laughter.
-
25A big techno-dud.
-
25It's phony and forced, but mostly it's just silly. If there was once a satirical edge to this thriller, it's been programmed right out.
-
20A storyline that makes less sense than the current state of tech stocks on the Nasdaq.
-
20A crap film that's steeped in liberal paranoia, but it's also so ludicrous that it falls under the guilty-pleasure category.
-
20Libel on one of the true visionaries of American business in the 20th century, a man unfairly demonized for doing what others strove to do but doing it faster and better.
-
10Antitrust is anti-fun, anti-wakefulness, and anti-interesting.
-
10Gives us good reason to believe that January really is the month Hollywood studios use to bury their cheesiest mistakes.
-
10It's too bad we don't have red, glowing DELETE buttons next to those soda cup holders. I could have done the world a favor.
-
0Monumentally silly thriller.
