The
action producing-directing team of Jerry Bruckheimer and Tony Scott,
is back with another thrill-a-minute ride called Enemy
of the State. Taking its "innocent man accidentally caught up
in political corruption" story from such films as Francis Ford Coppola's
The Conversation, Alfred
Hitchcock's Man Who Knew Too Much
and Sydney Pollack's Three Days
of the Condor, they turn up the high-tech volume in an attempt
to create the ultimate action film. Robert Clayton Dean, played by Will
Smith, is a devoted father, husband, and attorney shopping for a
sexy gift for his wife. What he doesn't know is that he was given a
videotape from a friend (Jason Lee) regarding the recent murder of a
U.S. Senator led by Corrupt National Security Agency official Thomas
Reynolds (Jon Voight). Now Reynolds is after Dean to cover his tracks
or, as we soon find out, frame Dean for the murder. Since Dean isn't
up on his high-tech gadgetry (and let's face it, in today's world there's
stuff that blows James Bond away), he needs the aid of ex-intelligence
operative Brill (Gene Hackman).
From there, between the explosions and chases, there's the subtext of
George Orwell's 1984 mantra "beware of big brother" as Dean realizes
that in today's modern world, there is no such thing as total privacy.
