Enemy of the State

An action film with political leanings and dissatisfaction with the government, the rhythm of the whole film is very tight, making people want to watch it all in one breath. In the past, action films were too brilliant to cover up the plot, and the plot of this film is still outstanding. The logic of the front and back is usually complete, and the characters are well-shaped. What is even better is that it highlights the political tendency and a kind of appealing emotion. However, sometimes, personal privacy and personal safety cannot be balanced at all. When you appear to be safe, you will inevitably ask for privacy, but when you are in danger, you will ask the police to monitor your privacy. This kind of Human nature cannot be explained by a policy. Whether it is for or against, I think there is nothing wrong. In my case, I would rather be deprived of some privacy in exchange for greater security.
