The government’s been in bed with the entire telecommunications industry since the forties. They’ve infected everything.

Enemy of the State is directed by Tony Scott and written by David Marconi. It stars Will Smith, Gene Hackman, Jon Voight, Regina King andLisa Bonet. Music is by Harry Gregson-Williams and Trevor Rabin, and cinematography by Dan Mindel.

A lawyer becomes targeted by a corrupt politician and his N.S.A. goons when he accidentally receives key evidence to a politically motivated murder.

Superb action thriller, we find Tony Scott on fine story telling form, backed up by Smith (how great to see the actor and not the star) and the always awesome Hackman adding his character driven gravitas to the stew. We are frighteningly drawn into a very real hi-tech world, which in turns becomes thought provoking and intriguing.

Scott knows how to work an action scene and edge of the seat sequences, and he doesn’t disappoint here. The running time of 2 hours 10 minutes is arguably a touch too much, but there is never any moments of extraneous sequences or pointless filler, the screenplay ensures that all conversations and character activities mean something, and therefore should be noted.

A hot buck roll call of rising actors are in on the fun, namely Barry Pepper, Scott Caan, Jake Busey, Jamie Kennedy and Jack Black, which leaves us with a smart and thrilling pic that’s served at a breakneck pace. Enemy of the State delivers wholesome genre entertainment. 9/10

Review By: John Chard

Poor Jason Lee (“Zavitz”) has only the smallest of parts in this film, yet in the few minutes he is on screen (before he is squished in a road accident) he manages to dump unsuspecting lawyer “Dean” (Will Smith) into an whole world of pain. Why? Well we already know what happened regarding the mysterious death of “Congressman Hammersley” (Jason Robards) but unfortunately for the killers, a video camera used for monitoring bird life caught them in the act. “Zavitz” managed to pass the tape to “Dean” and soon the considerable resources of the NSA are shutting down his credits cards, testing his already precariously balanced marriage and setting him up for a fall as they desperately try to retrieve this incriminating evidence. Luckily, though, he alights on maverick “Lyle” (Gene Hackman) and they start to come up with a strategy to fight back and trap their nemesis “Reynolds” (Jon Voight). There are a few sub-plots – but essentially this is just a vehicle for Will Smith to do what he always does and there is nothing remarkable about that. Hackman joins late and does inject a little class into this otherwise by-the-numbers political thriller that serves as a conspiracy theorist’s wet dream and sees Voight just reminding me of his “Mission Impossible” (1996) persona. I did quite like the premiss of the ending, but it really bordered on the spoof upon execution. Nobody can sustain it for 2¼ hours, it sags often and even the tag-team pursuit scenes and the slowest self-destruct sequence I think I’ve ever seen really don’t invigorate it. Watchable on the television on a wet winter’s night, but nothing more memorable than that I’m afraid.

Enemy of Big Bro
I remember when this came out and how much it freaked people out. Could we really be living in such a surveillance state? Could the government really be monitoring us whenever they want?

Well, over 20 years later and… Yeah, that’s probably all true and then some. Still, this was a fun movie with a compelling enough story, solid acting and a surprisingly deep cast of comedians playing serious computer nerds.

Biggest downside to me was the tech itself. Movies of this nature can’t help themselves from reaching into the nonsense handbag and pulling out things like the “zoom and enhance” cliché or the ability to tell exactly where someone is at all times with pinpoint accuracy among others.

Dated though it may be, this was still a pretty enjoyable watch. I’d say it’s worth checking out if you have it streaming somewhere.

Review By: questl-18592
Documentary roughly 10-20 years ahead of its time
Enemy of the State was released in 1998, only 3 years before the Nein Eleven false flag that excused the launching of the most intrusive surveillance apparatus the world has ever known.

And just like the Congressdoosh in the movie, everybody except for RonP aul said it would only be used on dirty furriners to protect the Good Ol’ USofA.

But as Edwards Nowden and later Julia Nassange revealed a decade later, America’s alphabet agencies soon turned the surveillance against Americans themselves.

Fast-forward to 2021, where it turns out the movie plays more like a documentary than a political thriller. The good guys are now the bad guys. Politicians are hopelessly compromised. The sp00ks are in charge. All our moves are on camera somewhere. Everything we write – including our movie reviews – is logged. There is no privacy.

Somewhere in the bowels of Hollywood there is probably a script in development about the disingtegration of the Western World, probably disguised as a Fall of the Roman Empire Netflix series, featuring barbarian hordes and starving serfs. Twenty years from now it will all come depressingly true.

Enjoy the film !
