Antitrust

My score in no way reflects my level of enjoyment. Did you all know there were other movies that attain Hackers levels of unwatchable watchability and you just didn't tell me? Don't I deserve this type of garbage? Haven't I earned this type of garbage?

The dialogue may be mostly made up of things that only characters in movies would say being said in ways that only characters in movies would say them, but it's a pretty good film all the same. In one scene, Phillippe gets deliberately caught by security in order to extract some data from a computer. The room that the computer's in is, for some reason, made of Lego, a flourish that's broadly indicative of the way the movie's universe is always slightly askew.

Not bad, but not great. At times the suspense comes off a little like Arlington Road (refer to my review), where it is too implausible to be anything but a movie. However, for the sake of entertainment this one is semi-decent.

The most realistic geek thriller ever made.

The laboured bits about sesame seeds just to set up the absurdly silly dinner scene (hasn’t anyone heard of cyanide?) pretty much sums up the movie's problems in total – there is too much effort expended on being 90s hip, cool and clever that it becomes difficult to take seriously except as verrrry broad camp; to his credit, Robbins hams mercilessly and rises to the occasion; Phillippe, Cook and Forlani approach this with the earnestness of Shakespeare which doesn’t help the movie’s problems.

I just love this movie. Somewhere between a thriller and a hacker movie. Yes, it's cheesy, but I still love it.

For my mind the worst one of year 2001 movie releases. Maybe something for computer geeks but i think they have something better to do than watch this

not so good

Tried a little too hard to be thrilling for my liking, ended up feeling like something was missing

Rather fun corporate espionage thriller. Tom Robbins elevates everything and everyone around him--without him this flick would be a sorry shambles indeed. And because he is so beautiful, it's easy to forget that Ryan Phillippe is actually a decent actor.

AntiTrust is okay, but I had a hard time believing that the crooked company was so tech-savvy yet they apparently didn't have surveillance in their own company's offices as well as Milo's home to know that he was plotting against them. This made it difficult to suspend disbelief for me.

A bland story line with a big bad company at the head of every predictable plot point except the one that they wasted on a stereo typical ending instead of an original and very happy ending.

Not good. Just a silly plot, silly acting and I find Phillipe's silly pube hair distracting.

Didn't like lead characters but story wasn't bad.

Mistake - When Milo is first in the daycare center and is going through the employee database, and he looks up Lisa's file, there is a picture of her ID card there, but it doesn't have her employee number on it.

saw this on tv, so maybe the editing made it suck. i doubt it.

I don't get why so many poor reviews. Sure, it's naïve, sometimes downright silly, the acting at times wooden (but Claire Forlani is shining here (or maybe she's just gorgeous), wish there was more of her), but it's very enjoyable. Plus the whole hacking & cracking is a lot less unrealistic than you usually get in your average Hollywood production.

Considering the cast, it was pretty ok.

Preposterous. If you just run with it, it's enjoyably absurd, though not very cerebral.

Sort of pseudo exciting in that you can pretty much guess everything that's gonna hit the screen sort of way. Still, a pretty enjoyable geek-fest, enjoy gawking at the code. Has a few moments, & some ever so slightly better than average twists.

suck it garrett

Laughable concept, a few points for actual unix shell use and recognition that the lone coder still exists... and a funny Bill Gates reference.

This movie was a pretty good idea and was executed fairly well, but it was not the best done.

Not worth the time

Not too bad, don't take it too seriously though. You'd only be fooling yourself, as this movie only takes itself half-serious. Yeah

Ryan Phillippe is hilarious as a computer whiz, but there's something compelling about Tim Robbins' Bill Gates impersonation in this substandard cyberthriller.

Mysterious and uplifting.

Interesting. Makes you question computer giants of today. Bad chemistry of actors though.

Dull and dumb.

A pretty decent movie that isn't COMPLETELY predictable. A lower-level suspense-thriller, but it still has some good twists in it.

Great suspense movie which takes the idea of Bill Gates being evil and runs with it. Tim Robbins does an amazing impression of Bill and ideas behind the film do make it believable (even the geek stuff isn't over the top).

A somewhat intriguing and different kind of thriller that simply entertains.

Pretty interesting and actually decent until the point where Tim Robbins' character, who highly reminds you of Bill Gates, turns out to be a murderer for software code. At this point the movie becomes a eye rolling fest of epic proportions. Still before that point it wasn't all bad.

The jabs at Microsoft were good, but you can't really base a film around that and the plot is really stupid.
