What brought me to AntiTrust was the fact that one of my favorite actresses, Rachael Leigh Cook, played in this one. I've discovered more here than I expected...
This movie didn't do any good, but if you watch carefully, you'll notice that here, we are at a middle of a chess game, between the Master and the Pupil, with the first one using every trick in the book (even illegal ones) and having a hidden force which might give him the win... So's the Pupil, with one final ace under the sleeve...
These are Tim Robbins as Gary Winston, the head of NURV, the computer giant and the pupil, who idolizes him, Ryan Philippe as Milo. In the middle, Milo's girlfriend played by Claire Forlani, a college buddy, Chang, a shady and impartial security guard and a mysterious but lovely programmer, Lisa (played by Rachael Leigh Cook), who have some interest in Milo...
If you follow the story, it is good. Rather a denounciation of a monopoly: the accidental taking of some programs to design a new form of satellite communications called SYNAPSE. Milo starts to oversee the foul play here, but many obstacles on his way might put hurdles on his quest to detrone his ambitious new boss. Even if he has to risk his life...
Good interpretation of all the actors (especially Tim Robbins here). We would have liked to see Rachael Cook's role as Lisa being more developped here, as they wanted to put a love triangle between her, Milo and his girlfriend (dropped because some people found it "corny", but it would have brought substance). Especially that Ms.Cook is quite talented and beautiful as well...
Take a chance to rent it, it has suspense until the end...
