There is no indication that anyone thinks that outsourcing only happens in the movies.
Although as a noun, an "exploit" is an "accomplishment" or an "achievement", the word is not being used in this sense here. As a verb, "to exploit" means "to take advantage of" or "to profit from". It often carries a negative connotation.
Philip says, "most people think that outsourcing is when a company exploits cheap labor in a foreign country". We can assume that these same people disagree with outsourcing because it uses these methods.
