If you're looking for realism, look elsewhere. They both are amusing entertainment.

That was The Core, dude.

Wrong!

It was in Hackers first!

It is an entertaining movie at most, but now a days, its fun to look back on old technology and how siked people were over a 14.4k modem..

I thought they were cute, when they were made... but keep in mind that they're both older than dirt, now.

Close second is "Swordfish"

Although Swordfish does have some rather unrealistic parts.

Yeah... Like somehow cracking a 128 bit RSA key in 60 seconds while getting oral? That had to be the stupidist "hacking" scene in movie history.

you forgot "while having a gun pointed to your head" although I guess that was the most
realistic part of that scene.

But man was she hot!
