Synopsis: Antitrust (2001)
Synopis: Stanford grad Milo Hoffman (Ryan Phillippe) and his equally talented friend, Teddy (Yee Jee Tso), intend to form an Internet start-up and take the world by storm. That all changes when Milo is courted by deceptively friendly software magnate Gary Winston (Tim Robbins), the immensely wealthy head of world-dominating, Portland-based company, NURV. Milo takes the bait, leaving Teddy behind. Arriving in Portland to a NURV-provided house and car, with his girlfriend (Claire Forlani) in tow, Milo finds himself working on Winston's masterplan--software that will link the world's communications devices together. But it's not long before Milo begins to uncover disturbing evidence of Winston's unethical--and brutal--business tactics. When Winston's web of violence touches Milo's world, he joins forces with fellow NURV programmer, Lisa (Rachael Leigh Cook), and sets out to tell the world of Winston's reprehensible practices. Though obviously influenced by the practices of a certain Pacific Northwest-based software empire and its recognizable leader, Howard Franklin's (THE NAME OF THE ROSE) script is a snappy popcorn-muncher that manages to generate suspense even though it realizes its own excesses. Robbins, as evil geek Gary Winston, is obviously having a good time. ANTITRUST takes the conventions of the conspiracy film and adds a candy-colored millennial sheen.Features: Antitrust (2001)

Yet another one
, May 5, 2003Reviewer: thetfal - See all thetfal's reviewsAlthough in a fantastic manner, I think this movie depicts just what went on during the Microsofits trial. It is no secret that this company uses technologies developped by other people and incorporates them as its own, it is no secret either that this company wants to control all the network technologies (hence the .NET initiative). So this movie is an attempt to make people see what is this all about.
Microsoft has come to be what it is now because of the users. It encountered no resistance from the people using their systems & software and everything about them is money. If we buy a new computer, some of the cost of the computer goes to Microsoft due to license fee, we unaware pay. So this movie shows us exactly that: the power of information that its rising as a new weapon: for buisiness, warfare, you name it! That is what this movie is all about: information power and the person(s) who control it. Nice picture. ...
