I know. I don't do movie reviews. However, I must make an exception.

Anti-Trust is a cool movie, in general. Basically, a huge, monopolistic company (Microsoft clone) has control over most of the world's computer industry, and uses evil tactics to steal a brilliant programmer's code and kill him. The main character, another brilliant software designer works to stop the company, and broadcasts the crimes across the world, in the end making all their programs open-source (hail, Linux!). It's got a great storyline and theme, but I must express my dislike of the last few turns of events. As much as this may spoil it, it's not like anyone reads this anyway. The blonde that the company is paying to date and spy on the main character ends up as the truly good, nice girl. This might seem all nice and romantic, however, the black-haired chick, who is intelligent, clever, and much cooler in every way than the aforementioned blonde, turns out to be an evil minion of the monopoly. Damnit. It didn't end the movie quite right! The main character and the black-haired chick had such a great love story developing between them, but nooo, evil Bill Gates clone has her under his control the whole time. Oh well. It's definitely one that I must download and watch again.
