Sie sind überzeugte Programmierer für freie Software. Während sie sich ein Live-Interview mit Gary Winston ansehen, dessen Konzern N.U.R.V.

Startup Rezensionen & Wertungen

Callum21. Dezember 2025
⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Antitrust — Code, corruption, and garage-born rebellion Antitrust hit me at exactly the right time. The idea of brilliant kids in garages taking on a faceless mega-corporation felt electric, even if the hacker mechanics themselves were wildly exaggerated. The film isn’t really about realistic coding anyway — it’s about power, control, and the uneasy feeling that technology can be used just as easily to cage people as to free them. Lines about being binary — a 1 or a 0, alive or dead — stuck with me long after the credits rolled, because they captured that early-internet anxiety perfectly. This was also one of my first real exposures to Claire Forlani, Rachael Leigh Cook, and Ryan Phillippe, and at the time it absolutely sent me looking up everything else they’d done. They give performances that feel grounded and sincere, especially considering how over-the-top most “hacker” films of the era were. Even when the tech stretches credibility, the emotions don’t — the paranoia, ambition, and moral tension all land well enough to keep the story engaging. I wouldn’t go so far as to say Antitrust paved the road for the more grounded tech thrillers that came a decade later, but it definitely helped nudge the genre in that direction. It treats its audience with just enough respect to feel smarter than most of its peers, and while it shows its age now, it still holds up as a sharp, watchable snapshot of turn-of-the-millennium tech fears. 🥃 Pairing: A late-night espresso martini — bitter, slick, and a little dangerous, perfect for watching idealism collide with corporate power.
