It’s a shame to see a film about the intelligence community executed with so little intelligence but it’s a fun ride.

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.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 11, 2020

Scott creates suspense by utilizing believable technology and realistic, well-grounded characters.

| Original Score: B+ | Mar 25, 2020

As a simple thriller that wants only to excite and intensify, it's one of the better ones that the late '90s produced.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 1, 2013

Decent thriller; not suitable for kids.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 24, 2010

A highly enjoyable hi-tech thriller.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 30, 2009

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

Distinctly uneven but generally entertaining...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 22, 2006

If you want to believe in the dark side of government, we are already past the predictions of Enemy of the State.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 8, 2006

...it's the action, not the acting, that is the key to the movie's success, and that's where it excels with its constant momentum.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 14, 2006

It's got some great action moments, just enough energy to jolt you through the exposition deliveries, and a ridiculously colorful cast to keep your eyeballs busy.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 14, 2006

Add Smith's lippy innocent and a host of subcontracted indie fresh faces, and you have the Bruckheimer formula: loud, lavish, seemingly efficient; over-large, over-long, over-plotted. Safe and sorry.

Who'd have thought I'd miss the subtle touch of the late Don Simpson?

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

O roteiro bem construdo e a direo enrgica de Scott conferem tenso ao filme, que tambm faz uma srie de bem-vindas aluses a A Conversao.

Since Scott could not make this film snap, crackle or pop faster or more loudly, you might find the evening a bit light.

It's good to see an action thriller have a story that has some real meaning and issues that may open quite a few eyes to the fragility of the rights of the individual in a world where things are moving too fast to control.

It satisfies needs of those who crave for quality entertainment as much as the needs of those who like some food for thought.

Preposterous.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 5, 2003

High production values and Gene Hackman are the only things that stand out in this run-of-the-mill Hollywood paranoia thriller. The unimaginative plot consists mostly of Will Smith being chased around by government agents.
