Anti-Trust


Milo Hoffman (Phillipe) is one of the best young computer programmers around and despite being sought after by every computer company around he wants to create software that is free to everyone. Now this goes against every wanna be entrepeneur who subscribes to the principal of “You can never have enough money”.

Gary Winston (Robbins) (: think Bill Gates) is head of N.U.R.V (: think Microsoft) who is racing against time to deliver Synapse which ill the worlds first global delivery system enabling everyone to stay in touch no matter where in the world they may be.

Despite the misgivings of his friends, Milo agrees to start work at at N.U.R.V, believing this is where he has the best chance of completing his goal and getting his program out to the world, even if there may be a cost involved.

Shortly after commencing emplyment, Milo begins noticing that things are not quite what they seem and that Gary seems to have just too many secrets. from this point on, Milo doesn’t know who to “trust”, where to turn or even what to do in ORDER to prove once and for all that Gary is “Evil”, just like everyone thinks Bill Gates is!

THE EXTRAS

* Audio Commentary : Director Peter Howitt and Editor Zach Steenberg providing not only an informative commentary, but an interesting one as well.

* Anti-Trust - Cracking The Code (22 mins) : This is quite a detailed making of that contains the usual interviews, behind the scenes footage, stunt filming and what the aim of the film was.

* Alternate Opening and Ending : As suggested, you can witness the start and end of the film with a different perspective if you wish. Luckily though, the filmmakers got in right in choosing the ones they did.

* Deleted Scenes : There are 7 deleted scenes here that are not missed in any way be HAVING been removed from the final cut. Running a little over 11 minutes, they can be viewed with or without the directors commentary.

* Theatical Trailer :

* Music Video : Everclear singing “When It All Goes Wrong Again”

CONCLUSION

Whilst the movie seriously tanked at the Box Office, I’ve always been a fan of Tim Robbins and he doesn’t disappoint. If taken lightly, you’ll probably walk away satisfied with what you’ve seen.
