Amurabi M. gave it a4:
For those who loved high-tech and the idea of a free-interchange-of-ideas-and-knowledge this could be the better film of the history. Bordering the limits between the libel and the propaganda, the provocative idea of a personal attack to bill gates and microsoft, doesn´t work totally. That attack coulda been work if the filmmakers get the wit to put that premise in a correct way of filmmaking. As a thriller, this movie is stupid and predictable, as a suspense is just the same. As a model of propaganda for liberals is just... right. But here, we are talking about films and nor about globaliphobia, so the film is just a piece of crap. Disappointingly, fails in to take a great issue (the freedom in the net) to the public and fails, miserably, in to make a decent film. Besides, we know that ryan phillippe doesn´t act and the Tim Robbins characterization of gates-the-evil is just... ridiculous.
Jeremy gave it a 4:
Slick enough to make it's brain dead and laughable screenplay barely watchable, but we can't say the same about Tim Robbins.
Rich B. gave it a 10:
This movie is really cool if you like computers. Reminds me a little of "The Firm".
Matt M. gave it a 1:
A wretchedly awful and tepid wannabe "thriller," "Antitrust" is filled with terribly incongruous performances and hackneyed plot developments. Absolutely HORRID film!!!
David G gave it a 7:
A good piece of entertainment. The story is a bit predictable, but you will enjoy it anyway. All the tech stuff is really beliveable.
Ryan M. gave it an 8:
A very smart and stylish thriller. Robbins and Phillipe make their characters real and believable. A cool hip summer movie.
Damian P. gave it a 7:
Unlike "Hackers," it really did get (glimpses) into the minds of computer programmers.
