...weak that Espy's lawyers decided not to put on a defense. Douglas, an old friend of Espy's who was meant to be the prosecution's strongest witness, turned on Smaltz on the stand and said he'd agreed to become his "puppet" only after three years of "storm-trooper" tactics by the independent counsel. "God knows, if I had $30 million, I could find dirt on you, sir," Douglas told Smaltz in front of the jury. (The amount Smaltz actually spent, through March, was $17.5 million...

At times, Enemy of the State seems to steal directly from these predecessors. There is even a chase scene in a huge storm drain that is quite reminiscent of Harrison Ford's famous escape from Tommy Lee Jones '69 in the first movie mentioned above. Also, there are a few conspicuous references to 1984 by George Orwell and A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Despite the similarities, Enemy of the State manages to be intense, gripping...
