Village VoiceDennis Lim
It's a kick to see the Tim Robbins version of the man recently described by the Microsoft trial judge as "Napoleonic" installed in a disgustingly opulent Bond-villain HQ/pad, and the overwrought Boiler Room-meets-The Game scenario is not without its own schlocky pleasures. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJoe Morgenstern
I do wish Mr. Robbins's one-note co-stars had been worthy of his performance, and that some of the melodramatics hadn't been quite so slapdash.

Taps into a fear hitherto unexplored by cinema: fear of Bill Gates. Read full review

VarietyJoe Leydon
Robbins is such a live wire that he's able to jumpstart his co-stars whenever they're interfacing onscreen. Read full review

The New York TimesDana Stevens
The plot of Antitrust is intricate and uneven, overloaded with twists and not very jolting surprises. Read full review
