Enemy of the State is one of those movies that will be watched in the future as visionary work of our generation. Keep in mind that this movie came out in 1998, and today I believe that most of the devices and tracking systems seen in this flick are in action. Sort of 1984 vibe that we have, so if you like conspiracy theories this is a movie for you ( along with Conspiracy Theory [1997]). Lawyer, played by Will Smith, after meeting an old friend becomes a main target for the government. His only help will come from a mysterious man called Brill, and boy does he need help. Government will use every possible asset in this pursuit, and then we can finally see what is the extent of their reach. Excellent script and amazing performances by main characters( as well as supporting roles) really help you sink in the story, and twists and turns keep you interested for two hours. Enjoy.

Director: Tony Scott

Cast: Will Smith, Gene Hackman, Jon Voight, Lisa Bonet, Regina King, Jake Busey, Jason Lee

Rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆ 

Fun Stuff: Gabriel Byrne’s character looks and dresses exactly like Travis Bickle, Robert De Niro’s character in Taxi Driver (1976). He also drives Dean away in a taxi.
