TRUST IS NOT AN OPTION.Ā
It shares similarities with The Devilās Advocate (1997), this story about Milo Hoffmann (Ryan Phillippe), a very clever (and uncharacteristically good-looking) computer geek who is hired by a huge corporation and its boyish, enthusiastic CEO who looks like Bill Gates. But itās not a serious tale about attempts to monopolize the market, just a simplistic thriller about the quest for world domination. The formula is much too obvious, but the ending brings a positive message: The code belongs to everyone.
