Enemy of the State (1998)
Typical Jerry Bruckheimer action flick starring the Fresh Prince. The Smith character is a lawyer who gets caught up in a Senator's murder by someone in the Government, namely the NSA. The story is mainly about privacy laws and technology used in the aforementioned 'Big Brother' laws.
It's the standard action followed by tension pattern used in these films but it's not done badly. It's just a bit bland. Will Smith runs around for hours trying to avoid the Government agents who would easily take down the simple lawyer. There are quite a few surveillance camera style shots which underline the privacy laws moral behind the tale.
The soundtrack is typical of Trevor Rabin and Harry Gregson-Williams and it's good action music.
Star of the Film: Will Smith simply because it's all about him... like most of his films.
Best Bit: The end scene in the Mafia restaurant.
