Actually The Plague (the bad guy) was just trying to determine how much of the "garbage file" they had - how much they knew... I have to admit that the movie sort of is a guilty pleasure...
They also did quite a lot of research in names and related "hacker stuff" (a Jolt Cola can in Plague's bedroom comes to mind)
And, of course, there is Angelina Jolie in her 18's. That more than compensates for any screenplay flaw.
I also wanted the headset that Zero wears. Now all I need is a spinning Phonebooth.
Angelina hubba hubba
