A computer programmer's dream job at a hot Portland-based firm turns nightmarish when he discovers his boss has a secret and ruthless means of dispatching anti-trust problems.
Rating:7/10 I was pleasantly suprised by this movie. I am not a big fan of Ryan Phillipe's at all, but I thought he pulled off this role quite well. The man who really should get the accolades though is Tim Robbins. This guy can bring a certain intensity to a character and just dominate a scene. Claire Forlani and Rachel Leigh Cook also do a good job with their characters. Watching this movie though, it takes several jabs at Microsoft and Bill Gates. The suspense that was created in this movie was created by Tim Robbins. Watching this guy blow up at Milo(Phillpe), you had to be kind of scratching yopur head wondering how far this guy will go to get what he wants. When you are watching these scenes and see what Milo is doing, it makes you wonder how Robbins' character is going to react. The movie was at a good pace and it really didn't slow donw much, so that you would lose interest, but because of all the twists and turns in this movie, the ending kind of left me a bit unsatisfied, but still a good effort was put forth.
