Got a by-the-numbers plot? A premise that's intriguing but also has holes in it? Dialogue that needs punching up? Hire Tim Robbins. He can save just about anything.
Top CriticMy, my, such a high-tech setting -- too bad it's marred by such a low-tech plot.
There's not an original note in Howard Franklin's screenplay or Peter Howitt's direction.
A witty but repetitious and predictable paranoid thriller.
The flashy topicality amounts to little, and Peter Howitt's slavishly generic direction doesn't help.
As sly as it is knowing, and played with wit to match its conviction.
This wannabe thriller about the new techno industry is a misfire.
Silicon Valley story of good versus evil-sort of.
It won't win any Oscars but it might make 14-year-olds wonder whether it's really worth spending life in front of a screen.
Passably entertaining in spots, but doomed by its bungling of the thriller elements.
A thriller about creativity which doesn't display any of its subject matter.
This thriller in name only is all too characteristic of the cinematic scrap heap that is the first month of the year.
A pretty good ride.
Antitrust will never go down in history as a great thriller, but nowadays, when thrillers are about as popular as whale meat, it'll suffice.
It's refreshing to see a filmmaker who's well aware of the limitations of his material, someone who can step back and say, 'Hey, this isn't 'Schindler's List': We're just trying to give the audience two hours of corny fun.'
