An all star cast list including Will Smith, Gene Hackman, Jon Voight, Jack Black, Seth Green, Jamie Kennedy, Jason Lee and many more piece together a heart stopping action packed and original four star production.
Imagine a world where everything you do is watch, ever blink of an eye captured, every word uttered recorded and fed back into huge mainframe computer systems for long scale terrorism and crime solving potential.
When the goverment launches its national campaign to end all privacy and secrecy for the american public in the interests of National Security, in one of the largest Nationwide issues to date, the hive brains behind the operation are not prepared to accept rival responces from some less easily persuaded politicians. If the end result of negotiations involves murder and coverup, so be it.
However when the truth runs the risk of surfacing into public eye, after such an incident is recorded unwittinglly, all the goverments resources are pulled into action to prevent the possibility of letting that happen.
Unwittinglly wrapped up in this breathtaking ordeal, one Robert Clayton Dean (Smith) becomes sole posseser of the evidence required to destroy the entire act and place a murderous political figure behind bars for the rest of his days, the only problem is, he does not know he has it.
With his life in tatters and family life distrupted in a desperate attempt to prevent his emmergence into public eye, Robert Dean is faced with life and death circumstances for reasons he can only imagine about in his worst nightmares.
When they can watch your every move, hear every word you say and follow you to the ends of the earth Robert Dean soon comes to realise the terrifying truth behind the ordeal, that it's not paranoia when they really are after you.
And when they can zoom into your very face and see the fear in your your eyes there really is nowhere to hide.
With amazing performances by all roles, and fantastic visual effects. Enemy of the state delivers a knockout piece of brilliant original bout of creativity unheard of today.
Breathtaking, yet at times slightly imaginative. |
