Enemy Of The State – Extended Edition

Corrupt National Security Agency official Thomas Reynolds (Jon Voight) has a congressman assassinated to assure the passage of expansive new surveillance legislation. When a videotape of the murder ends up in the hands of Robert Clayton Dean (Will Smith), a labor lawyer and dedicated family man, he is framed for murder. With the help of ex-intelligence agent Edward “Brill” Lyle (Gene Hackman), Dean attempts to throw Reynolds off his trail and prove his innocence.

Critic Reviews:

• " Decent thriller; not suitable for kids. " – Nell Minow

• " [Its] spirited action is balanced by an almost contemplative attitude toward surveillance phobias and the movie cliches they've spawned. " – Lisa Alspector

• " Far ahead of its time in educating society on its rapidly diminishing freedoms from governmental scrutiny, the screenplay favorably manages not to forget to entertain. " – Mike Massie
