Movie Reviews of Enemy of the State
Movie Review: a surprising two thumbs up
Summary: 5 Stars
when i originally rented it i thought it would be okay to have on as background noise while i did other stuff around the house.
nope. sat down and was glued to the screen from start to finish. i liked seeing the technology. lol.. unfortunately my perception of this movie and what i got from it was -reasons NOT to have this kind of invasive technology- i think osama bin laden would've gotten further along and even faster if this stuff was really around. (just my humble opinion).
the two leading actors did fantastic. will smith's character, well i really liked him, and his attitude. and the same for gene hackman. i still pop it in once and a while and think.. i wonder if these "i only think of what i need and want to" people will ever realize how easily and swiftly we can lose our simplest rights. privacy is no big deal. until it's gone.
Movie Review: "You have something they want!"
Summary: 5 Stars
When compared to MAN ON FIRE and DOMINO you have to understand that this is one of those movies where an average joe's life gets flipped upside down when he intercepts very politically, and potientially deadly, threatening materials. The minute we find ourselves plugged into this man's world we are introduced to several people who are keeping tabs on him 24 hours a day. They wait outside in trucks, bugging him, tapping him, questioning him, even picking up satiliete images to pin-point his exact location. It gives an all new meaning to the words "overactive paranoia." But, in DOMINO, it related the most becuase DOMINO, as well, was about someone normal who evoked a change in her boring life. This is the story of a man who didn't ask for his life to be changed. Whihc makes him the perfect everyday hero, in my humble opinion.
Enjoy!
Movie Review: A Thriller Of The Highest Caliber.
Summary: 5 Stars
"Enemy Of The State" remains the best film ever made by Will Smith. This is also Tony Scott's best work since "Crimson Tide." "Enemy Of The State" is more than your usual thriller, this movie makes you think. Writer David Marconi writes an intelligent screenplay that has a great, paranoid edge. Like "The X-Files," here we have the impression that no one is safe from the conspirators within the government. There's a great, technological angle and the action sequences are amazing. Camera shots are breathtaking and the cinematography is rich and gritty as in "The Rock" and "Con Air" (like this one, Jerry Bruckheimer acted as producer for those as well). The characters are also intriguing and interesting. The plot is complex and hard-hitting. This is a true thriller.Movie Review: Will Smith vs. Echelon System
Summary: 5 Stars
This Orwellian technotronic thriller is about a lawyer on the run from Big Brother. This lawyer played by Will Smith apparently has enough experience and stamina from chasing ambulances to elude the gadget-gestapo. This roller-coaster ride of a movie is packed with action and suspense. Will Smith's first real acting job. In real life, the good guy probably couldn't get away from the police state if he was a marked man like Will was in this movie... but hey don't make it more depressing. There were some technical discrepencies and implausible items, but then again I'm not fully aware of NSA's capabilities. I'm pleasently surprised that Hollywood touched on this subject.Call me paranoid, but I bet there tracking me after reading my reviews on Amazon and seeing the books I buy. Why bother signing on anonymously.
Movie Review: A MUST-OWN FOR "INTELLIGENT/ACTION" MOVIE BUFFS!
Summary: 5 Stars
I admit I was a little skeptical when I first saw the trailer,but this movie was GREAT from start to superb finish!I totally disagree with some of the other reviews bashing WILL SMITH saying he's playing the same old,worn-out wise-cracking character!I think ALL the performances in this flick were top notch!Curiously,I read a review stating someone's discontent with the picture quality of the video.I just bought the DVD and I honestly see nothing at all wrong with the picture quality.Both sound and picture are excellent.(Although some viewers might not like the LETTERBOX format which is the only one this particular DVD offers.)Anyway,if you have'nt already seen it,at least rent it.Because in all likelyhood,if your an action buff like me(...and I know you're out there!),you'll probably want to run out and buy it!
