I have no idea why I stayed up late to watch this, but I did.
A reasonably entertaining action thriller, Enemy stars Will Smith (not quite succeeding in the Everyman role) as a top-flight attorney who gets caught up in a big government murder conspiracy completely by accident.
The biggest thing this movie has going for it is its supporting cast. Jon Voight, Gene Hackman, Gabriel Byrne, Jason Lee, Seth Green, Jack Black -- they hit it out of the park as far as casting goes. It's even got Lisa Bonet as the smoking-hot ex-girlfriend turned co-worker from wives' nightmares.
Nice little movie that plays upon the fears of Big Brother and constant observation (is anyone reading this? oh noes!) Enemy was made in 1998, but seems to be almost prophetic of the post 9/11 world.
But political commentary is *not* why someone watches a movie on late-night cable. So stay up for this one for its kick-ass chase scene and classic movie references.
Not bad, but not worth going out of your way for.
