antitrust | Directed: - Peter Howitt (II) Actors/Actresses: - Ryan Phillippe - Tim Robbins Reality Bytes Computer whiz Milo Hoffman (Ryan Phillipe) gets an awesome job at the world's largest computer company, NURV. Milo was handpicked by the C.E.O.,Gary Winston (Tim Robbins) to work for him. Winston hopes to one day revolutionize the way the world comminicates, with his new technology. As Milo starts on the project, his freind, is brutally murdered and evidence leads to NURV's involvment. Milo races to uncover the truth and stay alive. Phillipe does a pretty good job of upping the ante and creating enough jitters to keep the film entertaining. Robbins does a fair amount of scene chewing to make it almost laughable. I can forgive that though, thanks to the presence of, Rachel Leigh Cook and Claire Forlani, as the women aiding and abetting Milo. This thriller, plotholes and all, is still worth your time. In my opinion, ANTITRUST is better than the other cyber-film, THE NET. The DVD Special Edition has a good commentary track with the director and film editor. There are a few deleted scenes and a "fluffy" making of featurette. Also included is the Everclear music video, "When it all goes wrong again", an alternate opening/ending that is rather interesting to see All in all, ANTITRUST is not a great film, but it isn't all that bad either. Recommended. A thrill ride! "Antitrust" is the best cyber-flick I've seen in years. It's suspenseful, fast-pased, and just incredibly entertaining. Ryan Phillippe stars as Milo Hoffman, a young computer genius who gets the opportunity of a lifetime: working for the highest-ranked computer company in the world, N.U.R.V. His best friend (also a computer geek), gets the job position, too...but rejects it because he feels as though the company's owner, Gary Winston (Tim Robbins) will stop at nothing to stay at the top. So Milo takes his girlfriend, Alice (Claire Forlani), and they move out to the N.U.R.V. campus and he takes the job. It's only a few weeks in his new job position when he learns that his best friend was brutally murdered, and then he finds out that the murder may be linked to his new company! Now it's up to Milo to take all the knowledge he has to help bring down the N.U.R.V. company and stop Winston from destroying peoples' lives. The acting is great from the entire cast...especially Ryan Phillippe, who is probably in one of his best roles yet. Rachael Leigh Cook plays Lisa, a smart girl who also works for the N.U.R.V. company and tries to help Milo. Tim Robbins, as always, is superb as the power-hungry company owner. The supporting cast is also excellent. The DVD is really good, because it includes an Everclear music video, deleted scenes with director's commentary, and a featurette on computer crimes and such. The screenplay was well-written, and the film was engaging. I recommend this for everybody who enjoys computer crime flicks! Final Grade: A I wish I knew computers this well... 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. <BR> 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.
