Review of Enemy of the State (1998) by Mike S — 22 Mar 2009
Smart, exciting and fast-paced thriller, starring an impressive ensemble of top-notch actors. Here we have Will Smith, Gene Hackman, Jack Black, Jon Voight, Barry Pepper, Jason Lee, Seth Green and lots of other familiar faces, all in the same movie.
On top of that, it's got an incredibly tight and thought-provoking story, that will keep you at the edge of your seat until the very end. In fact, coming to think of it, this is one of the best Will Smith movies I've ever seen, along with Men in Black and Independence Day.
At the same time, it kind of makes me wonder though what ever happened to Gene Hackman. He used to be in a lot of films of this kind before suddenly disappearing off the face of the earth. Anyway, if you're in the mood for something that thoroughly entertains while also nurturing the intellect, then this is one film I can highly recommend.
