When Tim Robbins is the head of IT, you should expect the worst. What applies to the series “Silo” today also applied to “Antitrust” back in 2001. In the techno-thriller, Robbins plays a character inspired by Bill Gates or Steve Jobs who is obviously up to his tricks. Ryan Phillippe, on the other hand, plays a young, naive programmer who would prefer to make his software available to everyone for free but then switches to the side of the big company, at least for a while. To put it bluntly, “Antitrust” is definitely not a good movie. There are plenty of leaps in logic, and the characters are very stereotypical. You shouldn't expect good acting either; Phillippe, in particular, is pretty weak. And yet, I did enjoy the movie. It's ultimately stupid in an entertaining way. And the structure of the movie works solidly. If you fancy a trip back in time to the early 2000s, you can definitely watch “Antitrust”—just with the right expectations.

I enjoyed this movie. Definitely watching this again, when I feel like indulging in some Hollywood tech drama.

>"It's just a matter of time before someone borrows your technology, improves it and makes a billion dollars on it." Was this really more of a premonition of what was to come over a decade later? Or is this a cheesy nerds-are-good-with-computers movie? I think it meets somewhere in the middle of those 2 options.

Movie is pretty good but I was never a great Ryan Phillippe fan, I don't think he is a good actor. He has a pretty baby-face but his emotions doesn't show on his face really well.
