Enemy of the State (1998) Part One

Arguably Will Smith’s first solo lead role in this eerily prescient (if a bit overwrought) paranoia play highlighting the prospects of domestic surveillance run amok.  John Voight and Gene Hackman provide ‘elder statesman’ -type acting cred, and the cast is rounded out with GenX support from Jack Black and Seth Green.  At first glance it looks like pure Bruckheimer popcorn fare, but what will we find if we pry around the edges of the tradecraft and tech on display?
