Reviews
A thriller about creativity which doesn't display any of its subject matter.
For much of its life AntiTrust relies on unhysterical thrills that are rooted in a highly credible set-up (a psychological cat-and-mouse game) and keep the audience guessing along with Milo.
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.
This thriller in name only is all too characteristic of the cinematic scrap heap that is the first month of the year.
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.
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.'
Apesar do fraco roteiro, o filme sobressai-se graças à direção de Howitt, que cria seqüências tensas que prendem o espectador à cadeira.
