Robert Dean (Will Smith) is a labor lawyer who is unknowingly in possession of evidence related to a serious politically motivated crime. Government agents eager to hide their...
more...guilt believe that Dean is on to them, and proceed to turn his life upside-down, ruin his reputation, and frame him for various incidents, thanks to the latest in high-tech government surveillance techniques. In an attempt to clear his name and reclaim his life, Dean teams up with the reclusive Brill (Gene Hackman), a former federal employee who has as much high-tech equipment and expertise as the government itself. Hackman's role is an extension of Harry Caul, the character he portrayed in Francis Ford Coppola's brilliant 1974 film, THE CONVERSATION. Smith scores as a man who is desperate to reclaim his identity and prove his innocence. This intense technological thrill-ride from director Tony Scott questions how much access the government should have to the communications of private citizens, and leaves the viewer with the unsettling feeling that Big Brother is definitely watching. Watch for the uncredited appearances of Jason Robards, Seth Green, Tom Sizemore, and Philip Baker Hall.

Enemy of the State stars Will Smith as an attorney in America who represents a big chunk of Mafia families, criminals and all manner of people, until he meets an old friend...

All the big names are in this one. Not only Will Smith from films like Men In Black, but Jack Black, Seth Green and Jason Lee from My Name is Earl all make apperences in this picture. It really is packed in there.

And stil the quality is not effected. The plot thickens as the movie goes on, and Smith finds himself running from the NSA and a whole host of other people. This leads to some spectacular stunts and big explosions.

The plot is based around the death of a State congressman, who appears to have died due to a heart attack. But when a bird watcher at the local pond catches the death on video tape, things start to turn nasty for the once innocent attorney and everyone around him.

Like a lot of Will Smith's movies, many parts are funny and comical at the same time as being quite action-packed. The film itself is very well done, with all the actors peforming extremely well, and some nice parts which are extremely gripping.

However, the first 20 minutes to half an hour of the film are very fast, and can be missed if you don't watch it carefully. Having said that though, it gets to the main storyline quick enough, and you can easily pick up from where it left off.

This film I watched the same day I registered on Ciao.co.uk, and it's a very good one too. Anyone who might be able to watch it, do so.
