I read somewhere that this movie was boring, Harrison Ford's performance was weak, and it was technically inaccurate. This movie was very entertaining, and the directors and writers did a good job of allowing their main charachter, Ford, to make significant mental leaps that a security analyst would be capable of. Harrison Ford was vintage Jack Ryan which is what some people are knocking, they must have forgotten how well he played that part. This charachter is similiar and Ford did a great job with it.
Now for the nerds thatread this, there are several things that were a little off. In the beginning of the movie as Harrison Ford and one of his employees decide to activeky block a hacker attempting to breach the bank's security. They choose to insert a router ACL instead of using a security device. While this method is effective, no security analyst would place the load on their infrastructure routing mechanism when other means were available. Additionally he uses a ridiculously simple password for home security, and his personal identity was very easily compromised. All screenshots I can recall showed accurate Cisoc IOS and Unix commands, nothing looked fake or Hollywood like Swordfish and other "hacking" movies. Overall I would say this movie is a lot better than most other things that have come out recently.
