Hunteddown, stripped ofhisidentity - and way of life, our pariah manages to elude capture, all the while plotting re- venge against this mysterious conglom- erate of technocrats, military men, and corrupt politicians. Such is the premise, and unfortunately, content, of Jerry Bruckheimer’s newest vehicleEnemy of the State. After a series of chase scenes, plot twists, and wry one-liners, our hero (against all odds, by the way) manages to expose the conspirators and regain his old way of life. In doing so, he protects the rest of the happily ignorant Ameri- can public from further encroachment upon their personal freedoms, namely the right to enjoy Monday Night Foot- ball, pork rinds, and cheap beer in the privacy of their own homes. Sound vaguely familiar? For those ofyou who haven’t seen The Net, Conspiracy Theory, or The Fugi- Wi tive, Enemy of the State provides little ingenuity for the conspiracy-thriller Ger genre. Directedby Tony Scott, themovie stars Will Smith and Gene Hackman with Lisa Benet and Jason Lee. Smith plays Robert Dean, whose shady personal life and professional dealings with the Mafia threaten his marriage and partnership. Dean’s college friend, Zavitz (Jason Lee) inadvertently films the murder of a prominent politician, therebyunlockingthe sinister machina- tions of Thomas Brian Reynolds (Jon Voight) to pass the nefarious “Telecom- munications and Privacy Act,” which will invari- The story falters under cheap laughs, impos- nobility.
