Was just watching this and the code was clear enough to read at 1:12, a quick google turned it up, its a very slightly modified version of the code found here:

Clearly they have just deleted a few lines as the code shown has errors due to the removed lines. Figured people here might get a laugh out of it being used like this in a major film.

Sure thing, and yes, it’s the 2005 movie you referenced.

Correction though I didn’t realise that the time index on Netflix was a count down, it’s actually at around 19:30 in.

How did you search for it?

I just searched for the exact string `// Add cells at random places` using google. You will note they removed the line defining `cX`, but proceed to use it, so it’s clearly modified a bit.

I submitted this to Source Code in TV and Films with a writeup of the scene, and it is now listed here:
