Amazon.co.uk Review
On the DVD: The Dolby Digital 5.1 sound is highly atmospheric, though the anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 image is only average, some grain and artefacting letting down the sleek look and elegant design of the film. "Cracking the Code" is a routine 22-minute "making of" documentary, while the audio commentary by director Peter Howitt and editor Zach Staenberg spends a lot of time stating the obvious. --Gary S Dalkin

This movie takes some pretty good twists and turns. It boils down to be murder mystery with a little bit of fighting "Big Brother." Generally, I am not a fan of suspense. It annoys me, because generally we always know which way it is heading. "Antitrust" has great suspense. It is never over-the-top. The movie can be rather unpredictable.
This movie is everything that movies like "Hackers" lack. It is obviously not going to be perfect representation of the Information Technology industry, but it is remarkably close (and really, that would was too close it would probably be bad for business). There are no flashy graphics when it comes to how the code and computers are used. Unlike "Hackers," geeks are geeks here; it isn't the rave scene going around playing computer "Robin Hoods." Not to say that there is too much "geek stuff" in the movie, but what is there looks and feels like the real thing.
"Antitrust" is the best tech movie I have ever seen. The cast is perfect. I have watched this DVD probably twenty times and have yet to tire seeing it. I recommend it to everyone I know in IT, and most anyone else too. The movie is top-shelf material.

But Milo, naive and irresponsible to the outcomes of the job finds that the founder of N.U.R.V.,Gary Winston(Oscar nominee Tim Robbins-High Fidelity)and graphics designer Lisa(Rachael Leigh Cook-She's All That, Get Carter Remake)have an unusual interest in him as well as the deaths of other computer wizards including his friend Teddy, cause Milo to rethink his position in N.U.R.V. and his friends perspective of him.
Anti-trust is one of the more daring projects in 2000 with director Peter Howitt(dead Man Walking) having his work cut out for him to level the balance of your average modern thriller and the technical structure of information technology the film,s theme is surrounded by. It can be debateble whether this has been achieved but I myself, hardly able to find the right keys on my laptop, found the film easy going to understand on even a technical level hence it is easy to see in the DVD documentory 'cracking the code',that this was put to much consideration.
The backdrops and props are some of the most lush and eye obsorbing I have sen to date. Producer David Nicksay and production designer Catherine Hardwick have put both budget and CGI technology to great yet not essentual use which intensefies and creates a cleverly trendy experience for the younger audiance.
Actor Ryan Phillippe's performance was somewhat surprizingly good and Tim Robbins as the rather over the top, almost ludicraus Gary Winston, Claire Forlani and gorgeous Rachael Leigh Cook help solidate the overall performance of the film.
Though hard for so many to relate to in an age where computer technology is not that cool(Even though the Everclear song "When It All Goes Wrong Again" tries hard to promote), Anti-Trust delivers a performance that I can't see being executed in a better way and even though not the most memorable of films, the contraversal message within can be enjoyable aknowlegded.
Note:Check out the unfortunatly yet justifiably deleted scenes.
Philippe plays a character who is a computer genius he and his friends intend on setting up there own company and providing all the work for free. Read more
