90 hackes movie is way better than this

90 hackes movie is way better than this.

They name Villain company name as Xiao Min. It's like company name is Mcdonald in states. All the hacking scene are like 80 movies. Some people just bashing on the keyboard and some random text running on the screen.

Police saw the evidence, but they still think it's fake. Her hacker group always wear the same cloths and headphone even tough it's a different day. Never show what's the connection with the bus company and china company.

Too little research on the hacking behavior. They just inspire on Hollywood movie and try to put together in the movie but it's fail.
