    • Trivia
      The real Tsutomu Shimomura has a small cameo in the movie as an anonymous hacker. In the scene when Wong (Shimomura) holds the conference to announce that his software has been stolen, Logue (Lowe) heckles him about it. Sitting to Logue's right (to the left if you are viewing it), is the real Tsutomu Shimomura.

    Unfair
    This movie seemed unfair to me, in that it seemed to make one believe that Kevin is a common thief. The line "Hi I'm Joe Frady, I just want to steal some stuff." This movie has many in the underground community that are fighting against it. More about the opposition to this movie can be found at 2600 Magazine's web site (although I can't paste the URL as stated in the comment guidelines.) This movie unfairly portrays the "hacking community" as a bunch of criminals. I think that the "hacking community" was the first step to what is now called "open source".
