  Yes it is. Then watch the sequel 'Enemy of the State' (1998). I liked them.

  YES. Brilliant film. I rank it above Apocalypse Now in his ouvre.

  SUCH a good movie, and I second seeing Enemy of the State as well, although I wouldn’t call it a sequel but it has a similar underlying premise.

  Yes! Just watched it for the first time a few weeks back and I’m about to go in for a rewatch this weekend!

  It’s an old fashioned spy thriller. It’s about privacy and surveillance.

  Today the majority of people have accepted that they are potentially constantly surveilled through the technology they voluntarily carry around. So you could say it’s worthwhile from a historical perspective how naive society was in those days. How they valued their privacy and were shocked by the transgression of surveillance.

  I’ll be the dissenting voice and recount my little anecdote. I watched this maaaaany years ago, before I was as cognisant of cinema as I now am, and found it exceedingly meh - tho the final scene is rather memorable. Perhaps if I watched it now with older, wiser eyes it’d be better. Perhaps not. I have little desire to find out, given how many other films there’re to watch
