I hate how every character just pretend like phone lines and text messages are secure, and talk about their plan to defeat the villain, blow shit up, cast magic, or whatever, on their normal smartphone with all the surveillance on it.

And like “Is this a secure line?” WTF is that question? How do you magically “secure” a line? (there’s no magic in-universe btw)

Is there anything that’s accurate to real life?

    It’s probably a pacing thing. Having a section of the film where the protagonist has to sit down and learn about threat models, flash a Tails image to a USB stick and fiddle around with PGP keys before they can communicate securely would probably ruin the vibe.
