    “Starship Troopers” Plot Summary

    Humans of a fascistic, militaristic future do battle with giant alien bugs in a fight for survival.

    Great

    Starship Troopers is a truly excellent film based on dark humour and great amounts of action and violence

    Its effects were great for its time and great amount of tought were put into making this movie

    Its unique story line is what separates this from the rest of your typical sci-fi films

    Its use of advanced weaponry and other military style objects is of excellent quality. Although some parts of it were very unrealistic, it just goes to show how far man can go and the achievements it would succeed in technology

    Also its comedy side of it would be more inclined to go towards the male counterpart as it can be a dark sense of humour

    Enjoyable

    I’m always up for a good ghost story, and this i found worth the time and effort of watching

    Mike Fox was very good. One of his best performances, i thought. A good solid adult role playing a shuckster making not-your-normal living. The character definitely had one of the stranger ways of paying-the-bills in moviedom

    And Combs was a hoot and a half. Think Dr. Herbert West if the wacky doctor had gone into law enforcement instead of reanimating bodies

    Busey did a very nice job of being the homicidal maniac. He left no doubt that his character was a total nutcase

    Usually i’m not so impressed by movies being shot in New Zealand as for some reason, tackiness is sometimes an unintended result. But for this movie, the New Zealand location worked very well

    I liked the art design on the movie case. It fit the movie to a tee

    Actually worth watching? Sure. It’s a good story told with good production values and good performances by the actors. It’s one of my favorites and i have my own personal copy which i pull out and have fun re-watching every once in a while.

    “Enemy of the State” Movie Review

    “Enemy of the State” Plot Summary

    A lawyer becomes a target by a corrupt politician and his NSA goons when he accidentally receives key evidence to a serious politically motivated crime. add synopsis

    The smartest thriller ever made

    In 1998, I was only about seven years old and therefore I couldn’t see it in the theaters because of the rating, but my guess is, the entire world got a wake-up call to the horrifying truth about their government. And the thing is, everything that happened in ‘Enemy of the State’ is very, very possible of happening. But that’s just me thinking, ’cause it was over 11 years ago and and I couldn’t remember if I tried. Did this movie do the same thing to the government as ‘Jaws’ did to the beaches? Perhaps

    The movie is about a highly accomplished lawyer named Robert Clayton Dean played by Will Smith in the performance of his career and makes an extremely believable character and expresses his emotions of anger and paranoia just perfectly. Dean accidentally gets a videotape of a covered-up political murder and in most of the movie, he doesn’t realize it. But he’s aware that the people (NSA agents) chasing him are watching him for sinister purposes. Robert Dean is also one of the smartest characters in the history of films, as he is able to outsmart a corrupt agency who have practically everything on him, such as satellites, tracers and cameras

    Gene Hackman also stands out as the gruff, foul-mouthed former conspirer and government agent named Brill, who has had experience in surveillance technology and assists Dean in getting away from these dirty agents. However, Hackman doesn’t show up until after the first hour, but that demonstrates his character who has spent most of his life hiding and it shows the secretiveness of Brill. Although the role is somewhat smaller, Hackman makes the best of it

    And as for the NSA agents played by Jon Voight, Barry Pepper, Seth Green and Jack Black…..all of these guys are DIRTY, and I mean that in the truest meaning possible. These guys are ruining an innocent man’s life, screwing up his credit cards, and even wrecking his marriage just so they can get away with what they did. Believe me, you are gonna find yourself HATING these guys, and I mean it. And as movie villains go….you’re supposed to hate them, sometimes in other movies, you might be amused or not feel anything at all, but ‘Enemy of the State’ does what it’s supposed to do. Also, they’re very realistic ’cause they aren’t stupid and they know what they’re doing with all the technology they have

    Most of the film’s thrills comes from the suspense rather than the action, as much of Tony Scott’s films are like. The chase scenes such as the beginning when the NSA guys are going after Zavitz and when they’re chasing Dean in the hotel and on the streets are terrificly shot and edited. Also, later on the action comes in after Dean and Brill run from the agents is also a highlight, and it’s pretty hilarious after Dean asks Brill why he blew up the building and he reacts by saying ‘Because you made a phone call!’ which demonstrates how careful he is. And of course the ending stand-ff between the agents and the Italian mob is absolutely bad@$$ in the true sense of the word

    I absolutely love ‘Enemy of the State’ and support its position as one of the best thrillers of all time, because its very smart and doesn’t treat the audience like they’re a bunch of idiots. Buy it, rent it or borrow it from a friend, and watch the movie that happens to be the smartest thriller ever made….
