ENEMY OF THE STATE, a tech-toned candidate from the paranoia party, took some innocent—if not exactly ordinary—Americans and unleashed the malevolent marvels of the citizen surveillance complex on them, making a statement about the Orwellian tyranny of vanishing privacy, and doing so in the guise of a lickety-split action flick: subset Smith, Will. * Under orders from a ruthless officer of the National Security Agency, a stubborn senator blocking passage of controversial counter-terrorism legislation is murdered, his death made to seem a heart attack. When it’s discovered that the incident was inadvertently recorded by an unrelated party, the apparatus of the agency comes down hard, and by chance swoops another innocent person, and everyone connected with him, into the dragnet of dystopia. Chases, gunfire, car wrecks and explosions come fast & furious.
