Cyber thrillers from the 2000s are depressing. What was a feasibly realistic horrifying possibility in 2001 is literally the fucking reality in 2026 and it is blatantly known without anything resembling a consequence touching the tech billionaires responsible.

Antitrust (2001)
antitrust (2001) rick worthy as shrot's assistant
so since i have apple+ for this short time, i'm also trying to watch silo because scifi is kind of my og fixation. read hundreds of scifi novels in my 20s. big fan. anyway. enter tim robbins as an IT manager and i'm getting big antitrust flashbacks so i'm like gahhh i have to make some parallel gifs (have to or it will eat away at my brain until i comply) and i'm scrolling around in antitrust and whose beautiful voice do i hear?? rick worthy! in a tiny part.
Antitrust is so underrated. It's cheesy at times and Ryan Phillipe overacts his ass off, but it's still a lot of fun to watch. It's a hacker/thriller from the early 00s that used the sleek Silicon Valley and Seattle tech vibe rather than a cyberpunk vibe like most other 90s hacker films.
It's got Tim Robbins as a sinister Bill Gates/Steve Jobs type tech entrepreneur who is literally having his competition killed and stealing their code to finish his next big innovation. While Ryan Phillippe plays a genius coder who is recruited to the company and mentored by Robbins' character. He leaves a startup he created with his childhood best friend to take the job and several weeks later, the friend is killed under mysterious circumstances.
There's even an impromptu allergen check before dinner to see if his girlfriend is trying to kill him with sesame seed. It's got a lot of interesting twists and turns along the way and it's an entertaining watch. It also advocates for open source software, which is pretty cool.
