11	* {{Anvilicious}}: The film largely exists as a framing device to express political views. Virtually all of Mercer's dialogue is one AuthorFilibuster after another.
12	* HarsherInHindsight:
13	** Creator/BillPaxton plays Mae's ailing father. He died of a stroke two months before the film reached theaters.
14	** Creator/GlenneHeadly, the actress who plays Mae's mother, died two months after the movie came out.
15	** This is the first time an STX film starred a member of the Golden Trio only to bomb at the box office, [[Creator/DanielRadcliffe but it wouldn't]] [[WesternAnimation/PlaymobilTheMovie be the last]].
16	* NightmareFuel: The entire film is this to folks who feel like Facebook, Google and Co. are already intruding way too much into people's private lives, and who try to stay as far away from them as they can for this very reason. Especially the scene where Mae is confronted by two passive-aggressive coworkers over things like not having a social network account, not having taken part in some of the company's off-hours events, and ''having left the company grounds for private reasons'', is extremely uncomfortable to watch, and it only gets worse from there.
17	* ParanoiaFuel: Think the entire concept in the trailer is unsettling enough? [[https://web.archive.org/web/20170102215922/http://wearethecircle.com/ The promotional website only amplifies it.]] (The current one now only directs to info about the film itself.)
18	* SpiritualSuccessor: They could have just called this movie ''{{Film/Antitrust}} 2'', as it pretty much has the same plot dynamic of that film staring Ryan Phillippe and Tim Robbins. [[spoiler:Phillippe plays the young naive new hire, and Robbins plays the Bill Gates like head of a technology empire with sinister motives.]]
