Amazon.com essential video:
Robert Clayton Dean (Will Smith) is a lawyer with a wife and family whose happily normal life is turned upside down after a chance meeting with a college buddy (Jason Lee) at a lingerie shop. Unbeknownst to the lawyer, he's just been burdened with a videotape of a congressman's assassination. Hot on the tail of this tape is a ruthless group of National Security Agents commanded by a belligerently ambitious fed named Reynolds (Jon Voight). Using surveillance from satellites, bugs, and other sophisticated snooping devices, the NSA infiltrates every facet of Dean's existence, tracing each physical and digital footprint he leaves. Driven by acute paranoia, Dean enlists the help of a clandestine former NSA operative named Brill (Gene Hackman), and Enemy of the State kicks into high-intensity hyperdrive.
Teaming up once again with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Top Gun director Tony Scott demonstrates his glossy style with clever cinematography and breakneck pacing. Will Smith proves that there's more to his success than a brash sense of humor, giving a versatile performance that plausibly illustrates a man cracking under the strain of paranoid turmoil. Hackman steals the show by essentially reprising his role from The Conversation--just imagine his memorable character Harry Caul some 20 years later. Most of all, the film's depiction of high-tech surveillance is highly convincing and dramatically compelling, making this a cautionary tale with more substance than you'd normally expect from a Scott-Bruckheimer action extravaganza. --Jeremy Storey

An earlier Will Smith movie but the first that allowed him out of his "Fresh Prince" role. Loved it when first released and loved it now, essential if one is keeping Will Smith movies. Nice blu ray transfer.

Wow, I remember seeing this movie a long time ago and didn't really give it much thought. It just seemed like Hollywood hysteria and way out there fiction for the most part. I had forgotten about the movie.
Recently I was shopping for some DVD's here on Amazon and this movie came up on my recommended list. So I bought a copy and watched it. This movie really freaked me out watching it now in a post 9/11 world. The measures taken by those in power to get what they wanted - "The Telecommunications, ... Read More

US techno-thriller in which successful lawyer Will Smith's life is turned upside down when he somehow gets hold of a tape that shows prominent politician Jon Voight murdering a fellow congressman. Voight and his people find out that Smith has possession of the tape and then set about trying to get the tape back, tracking Smith using the latest surveillance technology including tracers and spy satellites. They also invalidate Smith and his wife's credit cards by computer to make life as difficult for Smith as possible ... Read More

Will Smith is great in this movie. Him and Gene Hackman are good together. Lots of action and great storyline.

The plot was excellent, gene hackman and will smith were excellent but one thing that got me extremely aggravated was the innaccurate portrayal of the NSA and their agents, especially the agents, I mean who on earth is gonna believe seth green jack black and all those actors from gone in 60 seconds and saving private ryan are real nsa agents, their acting was so off and i could never for a second believe any of them had the intelligence nor the ability to work for any federal agency other than the post office. If you ... Read More
