Big business is cast as the evil antagonist in countless films.
This, of course, is a delicious irony, since the Hollywood studios are themselves the very epitome of big business bullies . AntiTrust is no exception. Gradually, it dawns on Hoffman that his apparently benign boss is actually stealing ideas from garage geeks and killing anybody who gets in the way. Law and pop culture mavens will expect to see something about antitrust law or some commentary on the Microsoft case, but they'll be disappointed. There is very little about antitrust law in this film.
