The film is based on the legend of the Spartans who, in 480 BC, fought a courageous fight with the Persian army at the battle of Thermopylae. The fight scenes are full of action; Gerald Butle,r who plays the role of King Leonides, plays the part brilliantly.

Title: Enemy of the State

Rating: 7.5/10

Reviewed by: Leighton

Review: Robert Dean (Will Smith) is a labor lawyer who is unknowingly in possession of evidence related to a serious politically motivated crime. Government agents eager to hide their guilt believe that Dean is on to them, and proceed to turn his life upside-down, ruin his reputation, and frame him for various incidents, thanks to the latest in high-tech government surveillance techniques. In an attempt to clear his name and reclaim his life, Dean teams up with the reclusive Brill (Gene Hackman), a former federal employee who has as much high-tech equipment and expertise as the government itself. Hackman's role is an extension of Harry Caul, the character he portrayed in Francis Ford Coppola's brilliant 1974 film, THE CONVERSATION. Smith scores as a man who is desperate to reclaim his identity and prove his innocence. This intense technological thrill-ride from director Tony Scott questions how much access the government should have to the communications of private citizens, and leaves the viewer with the unsettling feeling that Big Brother is definitely watching.

Review: Special Agent James Bond (Daniel Craig) is back with the latest bond movie.  This movie is alot darker and picks up straight away from the last movie Casino Royale. Bond this time is up against the world syndicate Quantum, led by Dominic Greene (French actor Mathieu Amalric), who uses a campaign to save swathes of rainforest as a cover for his evil plan to control the water supply. The Bond girls in the movie are played by the curvy shapes of Camille (Olga Kurylenko) and MI6 agent Fields (Gemma Arterton).  As ever bond is kept in line by (Judi Dench) who keeps bond on his toes.  The film does have some good action scenes but does seem to lack something in the story. Also the much loved Gadgets and the immortal line "The name’s Bond, James Bond" are not present. Not as good as Casino Royale but still better than some other James Bond Films made.

Although he is dogged by misfortune and if a person is on a winning streak he is brought in to change that.

Alec Baldwin is great as the Casino boss and Maria Bello plays the girl whom Macy is attracted to.  This is a great film and well worth watching!
