It's ironic that Travolta wastes the first 3 minutes talking about the "problem with Hollywood", and then the movie uses the next 2 hours to evidence the problems in detail. Why can't film-makers actually use input from computer and security experts to improve their scripts? How hard would it be to have the computer-related bits make sense?
Computer-related inaccuracies aside, the plot was contrived and trite. It was predictable and unrewarding.
"Unbelievable, unremarkable sh*t" indeed.
It's only redeeming quality was providing me and my developer-friends with a great new catch-phrase to throw around carelessly:
"It's got 512 bit encryption! You'll never crack the firewall!"
