Two stars

Enemy of the State

(Buena Vista)

Tony Scott's glitzy paranoid thriller suffers from a surplus of satellite imagery, car crashes, and hammered keyboards. Will Smith is a corporate lawyer who inadvertently receives a tape of a political assassination plotted by rogue National Security Agency administrator Jon Voight. He's implicated in scandal, his wife dumps him -- only Gene Hackman as a shadowy surveillance expert can help him fight back. Although clever and provocative, Enemy is hardly state of the art.
