this movie be bad . there be no get around the fact that this movie be grossly inaccurate and inconsistent and generally poorly make . the plot be contrive and overuse and generic . a group of young hacker create some trouble until they find out about an evil plot . then it become a bad action and romance hybrid . with outdated computer . that never exist . indeed and the movie hacker break at least two dozen fundamental piece of computer knowledge that anybody even moderately train could catch . most of these somehow involve over the top dramatic camera angle and cut away . the script move in a kind of jumpy staccato shuffle and with the occasional inconsistency or absurdity making you jump for a moment . for instance and while find the infamous host of the show hack the planet ( which manage to crack into the tv station every week at a predictable time and stay on air for half an hour with a live feed ) they be hold at gun point by a robotic arm . once the host ( annoy twin ) find out that they be ally and they show their secret and it be a squirt gun . oh you hacker and what a waste of two hour that be .
