ANTITRUST (Theatrical Release USA 2001)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì

Antitrust—B-grade film to fill in spare time—fails due to weak and average acting, lack of realism, and a too simple presentation. The movie works as a luncheon flick when there is nothing else to watch.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. The evil computer mogul needs more evilness. The rest of the cast performs averagely. The script seems to lack originality and creativity, very low-key.
