Enemy Of The State - A Review
A new thriller from Tony Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer, "Enemy Of The State"
brings the full paranoia of technology and privacy to new heights. The film
begins with the murder of a US Congressman ordered by Congressman Thomas
Reynolds (Jon Voight, always sinister) in order for his "Privacy Act," a bill
which will enable the government access to, well, rightfully invade your
privacy.
A Nature documentarian (Jason Lee) records the incident on tape and
soon finds himself running from the NSA. During the chase, he bumps into old
college buddy and attorney Robert Dean (Will Smith in his best role to date.)
and hands him the tape without Dean knowing it. Dean has some problems of his
own, namely in the form of mob boss Pintero (Tom Sizemore in an uncredited
cameo and very funny).
Soon, Reynolds and the NSA are on to Dean, and begin a
search for the tape and Dean's life by tracking him with systems so advanced
that he can picked up by a satellite orbiting the Earth! The film gets more
interesting when a mysterious man named Brill (the fantastic Gene Hackman)
reluctantly helps Dean get out of the situation by turning the tables on the
men who are trying to end Dean's life.
Sizemore only appears in two scenes, the first about ten minutes into the
movie, the other near the end. His portrayal of Pintero is rousing and
hilarious, and gives Will a run for his money in both scenes.
