I like the term they used "plot hole spackle". Good one! But they are right - hacking in most movies is just like magic. A mysterious, poorly understood force that binds the universe together, and can be tappend into by the special gifted people. Sigh... Clarke's third law is working against us here. :( Hehe… I like the term they used “plot hole spackle”. Good one!
