5 out of 5 stars Excellent movie........2007-08-16

This is an excellent thriller/drama movie with a very relevant plot for todays society. It may have been far fetched when it was made but it is more of a blue print for todays reality.

The audio and video transfers are excellent and definitely rate a tier 1 presence for Blu-Ray.

5 out of 5 stars Engaging and Riveting Thriller .......2007-02-08

Director Tony Scott's ENEMY OF THE STATE is an engaging thriller. This film covers territory frequently traversed by Alfred Hitchcock, namely that of "the wrong man" being placed in jeopardy without any plausible explanation. Brilliantly played, Will Smith is that man. This film runs at a breakneck pace as the NSA pursues Smith for something he unwittingly has been handed. Smith eventually becomes teamed with Gene Hackman who plays former NSA operative on the lamb. Hackman's character here seems based on his character from Francis Ford Coppola's THE CONVERSATION. Gene Hackman is very good at what he does and he steals this film in the process. The pace is frenetic with the latest high tech surveillance devises including satellite GPS systems tracking Smith and Hackman's every move. The climax is riveting. This is a good one.

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

movie. You are almost tired by the time it is over. All actors were superb. Will Smith is perfect for these types of movies because of his wit and seriousness. He just brings this character to life and we are routing for him until the end.

Gabriel Byrne has a brief but pivotal scene. This is a good one.

4 out of 5 stars It's not paranoia if they're really after you........2006-12-24

ENEMY OF THE STATE is flashy, big budget, adrenalin-pumping cinema as only director Tony Scott and producer Jerry Bruckheimer can concoct. It's raucously entertaining and most certainly a strident rallying film for the conspiracy theorists. Now I don't know just how accurate the movie is in terms of the technology depicted (I'd say fairly accurate) or of the dubious lengths to which our government will stoop to achieve its ends, but, certainly, the sincere and bravura acting of the high powered cast lends this over the top film an element of plausibility.

Several SPOILERS here: When a nature photographer (Jason Lee) accidentally tapes the cold-blooded murder of a high profile congressman, it sets off a chain of events which horrifyingly affects and endangers Washington, D.C. attorney Robert Dean (Will Smith). When a corrupt, high ranking agent of the National Security Agency comes to believe that Dean has in his possession evidence which will incriminate him, he and his henchmen turn Dean's universe instantly topsy turvy; as a result of their manipulations, Robert Dean is summarily fired from his law firm, framed in the newspaper, accused of having an affair with an ex-flame and current informant, and stripped of his finances. Even his cell phone stops functioning. He is bugged six ways from Sunday and is reduced to running for his life clad in his undies. It's hard work evading these determined people as Dean is easily pinpointed by the NSA's use of aerial surveillance and sundry tracking devices. But Dean receives unexpected aid from an enigmatic ex-intelligence agent (Gene Hackman, again acting with ferocity) as he tries desperately to stay one step ahead of his powerful, omnipresent pursuers and somehow salvage the remnants of his life.

You have to hand it to Scott and Bruckheimer, when they get together (DEJA VU, CRIMSON TIDE, TOP GUN), their enthusiasm knows no bounds. This rapidly paced hi-tech thriller/chase film takes Hitchcock's innocent man on the run premise and inserts its own brand of polished action sequences and well-executed stunts/fx. There's no questioning it's slickness. It's also enhanced by the solid performances of everyman Will Smith, the surly Gene Hackman, and the villainous Jon Voight. Regina King, Jamie Kennedy, Jack Black, and Lisa Bonet (still sexy) all contribute nicely in supporting roles.

ENEMY OF THE STATE is a cautionary fable which raises the issue of national security and of our government's constant need to gather intel for our own protection, but juxtaposed against that is the violation incurred to our civil rights, and, how, depending on the man, certain moral lines are easier to cross in pursuit of the big picture. As someone said, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." This film would have us believe that, with the application of space satellite imagery, super dedicated cameras, various transmitters and taps, our government can now have access to our privacy at a moment's whim. The sobering thing here is that the frighteningly detailed surveillance technology shown in this film - which would make J. Edgar Hoover cream in his dress - is, no doubt, in existence and is probably in steady use - for our own good, of course. Sucks for us and the so-called American way of life. I'm sure, somewhere, George Orwell is saying, "See - I told you."

5 out of 5 stars a surprising two thumbs up.......2006-07-02

when i originally rented it i thought it would be okay to have on as background noise while i did other stuff around the house.

nope. sat down and was glued to the screen from start to finish. i liked seeing the technology. lol.. unfortunately my perception of this movie and what i got from it was -reasons NOT to have this kind of invasive technology- i think osama bin laden would've gotten further along and even faster if this stuff was really around. (just my humble opinion).

the two leading actors did fantastic. will smith's character, well i really liked him, and his attitude. and the same for gene hackman. i still pop it in once and a while and think.. i wonder if these "i only think of what i need and want to" people will ever realize how easily and swiftly we can lose our simplest rights. privacy is no big deal. until it's gone.

1 out of 5 stars The Cure for the Evasive Number 2.......2006-05-11

The formula for any Will Smith movie is to have him say "Damn" every six line of his dialogue and give him really cute humor, no matter what the situation is. This movie was totally unbelievable, honestly. For instance, Big Willie Style running around Metro D.C. in the winter wearing only boxer shorts. Not to mention countless errors both in editing and directing. On to the plot, the entire American government is evil (it can happen), mind you are villains are Jon Voight, who I can swallow as a villain, but Jamie Kennedy, Jack Black, Barry Pepper, Jake Busey and Seth Green?! Is this an action movie or a poor man's Kids in the Hall? Gene Hackman is always good, but I don't even think Lex Luthor can help the Fresh Prince in this over price bucket of trash.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Movie Must See.......2007-09-03

It has a great actor like Will Smith, if any one is suspicious of the goverment this will just add fuel to the fire.

3 out of 5 stars Enemy of the State.......2007-06-27

This movie has a good plot, good actors and overall is entertaining. The only thing in the form of a critique would be that the screenplay writers seemed to want the movie to run into tomorrow. It could have ended much sooner than it did by cutting out some of the scenes that contributed little-to-nothing to the movie. Because of that, when it gets close to the end, you might either already be bored, or on the other hand, happy that the movie is ending soon.
As I said, good plot, good acting, and screenwriters with an ego.

5 out of 5 stars VERY GOOD MOVIE.......2007-01-19

THIS IS THE TYPE OF MOVIE THAT FILLS IN THE GAPS OF WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN OUR GOVERNMENT. I HAD THE VHS AND I HAD TO HAVE THE DVD. THIS IS A CLASSIC MOVIE.

5 out of 5 stars Great action flick, keeps you on your toes.......2007-01-10

Makes you think, too. Maybe "they" aren't so far away from being able to do that...I no longer pick my nose, not even alone in the bathroom....they...might...be....watching...

4 out of 5 stars The Fresh Prince Has Been A Bad Boy.......2006-11-06

It only took me 8 years, but I was finally inspired (by Will Smith recently filming "I Am Legend" right in my neighborhood) to see Enemy of the State. And it was a good 2 hours and 10 minutes of time well spent.

Will Smith is on a roll...has been on a big screen roll ever since Bad Boys (1995). It seems that he always plays the same character: confident, smart talking, tough, funny. But the redundancy works...every time. It worked in Enemy of the State too.

Like a lot of other Will Smith movies ("Independence Day", "Men in Black", "I, Robot", "Hitch"), Enemy of the State is a thoroughly entertaining movie that keeps you in your seat. It's got a great story with some great actors.

And post 9/11, the subject of government surveillance is even more on topic. Can anyone say, "The Patriot Act"?

Enemy of the State is classified as a thriller. A thriller is supposed to be exciting, full of suspense, intrigue and mystery. Enemy of the State does not disappoint.

A worthy rental.

    Stationed in the Soviet Union, U.S. spy Jeff West (Edward Albert) is betrayed by the C.I.A. and, after a fixed trial, sentenced to certain death at a dreaded gulag for political prisoners. He assumes the name of a dead petty thief to reroute himself to a minimum security camp, where he plans his escape over the icy tundra. The suspicious camp commander, Kolya, plots to expose West. Locked in a final confrontation, West and Kolya face off over thirty-nine miles of ice as the brutal game climaxes in a final run to freedom.

      Enemy Of The State - DVD- Hot Hollywood favorite Will Smith (MEN IN BLACK, INDEPENDENCE DAY) stars with Academy Award®-winner Gene Hackman (Best Actor, 1971, THE FRENCH CONNECTION) in a high-powered suspense thriller where nonstop action meets cutting-edge technology! Robert Clayton Dean (Smith) is a successful Washington, D.C., attorney who -- without his knowledge -- is given a video that ties a top official of the National Security Agency (Oscar®-winner Jon Voight, Best Actor, 1978, COMING HOME) to a political murder! Instantly, every aspect of Dean's once-normal life is targeted by a lethal team of skilled NSA surveillance operatives who wage a relentless, ultra-high-tech campaign to discredit him and retrieve the incriminating evidence! Also featuring Regina King (JERRY MAGUIRE, BOYZ N THE HOOD) in an impressive, star-studded cast -- get ready for the action to explode as Dean desperately races to reclaim his life and prove his innocence before it's too late! Pearl Harbor 60th Anniversary Commemorative Edition - English/French DVD- History comes alive in the unforgettable epic motion picture PEARL HARBOR, the spectacular blockbuster brought to the screen by Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay. Astounding visual and audio effects put you at the center of the event that changed the world -- that early Sunday morning in paradise when warplanes screamed across the peaceful skies of Pearl Harbor and jolted America into World War II. This real-life tale of catastrophic defeat, heroic victory, and personal courage focuses on the war's devastating impact on two daring young pilots, Ben Affleck (ARMAGEDDON) and Josh Hartnet (BLACK HAWK DOWN), and a beautiful, dedicated nurse, Kate Beckinsale (SERENDIPITY). PEARL HARBOR is extraordinary moviemaking -- a breathtaking reenactment of the "date which will live in infamy" and a heartfelt tribute to the men and women who lived it.

        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

        5 out of 5 stars Great action .......2007-03-31

        movie. You are almost tired by the time it is over. All actors were superb. Will Smith is perfect for these types of movies because of his wit and seriousness. He just brings this character to life and we are routing for him until the end.

        5 out of 5 stars Fast Paced Riveting Thriller.......2007-02-09

        Director Tony Scott's ENEMY OF THE STATE is an engaging thriller. This film covers territory frequently traversed by Alfred Hitchcock, namely that of "the wrong man" being placed in jeopardy without any plausible explanation. Brilliantly played, Will Smith is that man. This film runs at a breakneck pace as the NSA pursues Smith for something he unwittingly has been handed. Smith eventually becomes teamed with Gene Hackman who plays a former NSA operative on the lamb. Hackman's character here seems based on his character from Francis Ford Coppola's THE CONVERSATION. Gene Hackman is very good at what he does and he steals this film in the process. The pace is frenetic with the latest high tech surveillance devises including satellite GPS systems tracking Smith and Hackman's every move. The climax is riveting with NSA bad guy Jon Voight and mob boss Tom Sizemore bucking heads. Composer Trevor Rabin's contribution to the score is very effective. Gabriel Byrne has a brief but pivotal scene. This is a good one.

        4 out of 5 stars It's not paranoia if they're really after you........2006-12-24

        ENEMY OF THE STATE is flashy, big budget, adrenalin-pumping cinema as only director Tony Scott and producer Jerry Bruckheimer can concoct. It's raucously entertaining and most certainly a strident rallying film for the conspiracy theorists. Now I don't know just how accurate the movie is in terms of the technology depicted (I'd say fairly accurate) or of the dubious lengths to which our government will stoop to achieve its ends, but, certainly, the sincere and bravura acting of the high powered cast lends this over the top film an element of plausibility.

        Several SPOILERS here: When a nature photographer (Jason Lee) accidentally tapes the cold-blooded murder of a high profile congressman, it sets off a chain of events which horrifyingly affects and endangers Washington, D.C. attorney Robert Dean (Will Smith). When a corrupt, high ranking agent of the National Security Agency comes to believe that Dean has in his possession evidence which will incriminate him, he and his henchmen turn Dean's universe instantly topsy turvy; as a result of their manipulations, Robert Dean is summarily fired from his law firm, framed in the newspaper, accused of having an affair with an ex-flame and current informant, and stripped of his finances. Even his cell phone stops functioning. He is bugged six ways from Sunday and is reduced to running for his life clad in his undies. It's hard work evading these determined people as Dean is easily pinpointed by the NSA's use of aerial surveillance and sundry tracking devices. But Dean receives unexpected aid from an enigmatic ex-intelligence agent (Gene Hackman, again acting with ferocity) as he tries desperately to stay one step ahead of his powerful, omnipresent pursuers and somehow salvage the remnants of his life.

        You have to hand it to Scott and Bruckheimer, when they get together (DEJA VU, CRIMSON TIDE, TOP GUN), their enthusiasm knows no bounds. This rapidly paced hi-tech thriller/chase film takes Hitchcock's innocent man on the run premise and inserts its own brand of polished action sequences and well-executed stunts/fx. There's no questioning it's slickness. It's also enhanced by the solid performances of everyman Will Smith, the surly Gene Hackman, and the villainous Jon Voight. Regina King, Jamie Kennedy, Jack Black, and Lisa Bonet (still sexy) all contribute nicely in supporting roles.

        ENEMY OF THE STATE is a cautionary fable which raises the issue of national security and of our government's constant need to gather intel for our own protection, but juxtaposed against that is the violation incurred to our civil rights, and, how, depending on the man, certain moral lines are easier to cross in pursuit of the big picture. As someone said, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." This film would have us believe that, with the application of space satellite imagery, super dedicated cameras, various transmitters and taps, our government can now have access to our privacy at a moment's whim. The sobering thing here is that the frighteningly detailed surveillance technology shown in this film - which would make J. Edgar Hoover cream in his dress - is, no doubt, in existence and is probably in steady use - for our own good, of course. Sucks for us and the so-called American way of life. I'm sure, somewhere, George Orwell is saying, "See - I told you."

        5 out of 5 stars a surprising two thumbs up.......2006-07-02

        when i originally rented it i thought it would be okay to have on as background noise while i did other stuff around the house.

        nope. sat down and was glued to the screen from start to finish. i liked seeing the technology. lol.. unfortunately my perception of this movie and what i got from it was -reasons NOT to have this kind of invasive technology- i think osama bin laden would've gotten further along and even faster if this stuff was really around. (just my humble opinion).

        the two leading actors did fantastic. will smith's character, well i really liked him, and his attitude. and the same for gene hackman. i still pop it in once and a while and think.. i wonder if these "i only think of what i need and want to" people will ever realize how easily and swiftly we can lose our simplest rights. privacy is no big deal. until it's gone.

        1 out of 5 stars The Cure for the Evasive Number 2.......2006-05-11

        The formula for any Will Smith movie is to have him say "Damn" every six line of his dialogue and give him really cute humor, no matter what the situation is. This movie was totally unbelievable, honestly. For instance, Big Willie Style running around Metro D.C. in the winter wearing only boxer shorts. Not to mention countless errors both in editing and directing. On to the plot, the entire American government is evil (it can happen), mind you are villains are Jon Voight, who I can swallow as a villain, but Jamie Kennedy, Jack Black, Barry Pepper, Jake Busey and Seth Green?! Is this an action movie or a poor man's Kids in the Hall? Gene Hackman is always good, but I don't even think Lex Luthor can help the Fresh Prince in this over price bucket of trash.
