Will Smith displays something that he’s neglected to in his past features:  TALENT.  He almost goes the entire movie without reminding the audience of how good looking he is.  Tony Scott has done a great job showing us the stark cold reality of modern technology, and how privacy is obsolete.  Will plays Robert Dean an attorney whom uses information from a source unbeknownst source to use against his advisories.  When Robert meets an old friend briefly, he has inadvertently put himself in the middle of a political cover up of incredible proportions.  Utilizing N.S.A. technology Thomas Brian Reynolds (Jon Voight) tracks Robert’s every move with tracers, video cameras and even satellites.  All Robert wants is his life back, all the N.S.A. wants is his life to end.  There are more nail biting scenes in this movie than most of 1998’s thrillers combined, and the action is non-stop from title to credits.  3 is the where you’ll find the Kevo-Meter for Enemy of the State.

Starring Will Smith, Gene Hackman, Jon Voight, and Jake Busey.  Directed by Tony Scott
