Antitrust wasn't bad either, but I'm not sure if it goes too far into drama.

Antitrust was great, a longtime favourite of mine. They at least had some focus on coding etc. rather than just mindless bashing on a keyboard to "hack" random systems.
Antitrust's "I think my girlfriend is trying to poison my food, so I'll cut myself, expose the cut to that food and see if I get sick" scene ruined the movie for me. I know that's basically how allergy testing works, but it was still cringe-worthy.

Antitrust is pretty good at what it aims to be: "idealistic hacker meets corporate environment". They even explicitly mention "Open Source", once.
