Reviews


88
USA Today - Mike Clark
The picture is solidly crafted, performed to the hilt and full of humor.
80
Washington Post - Michael O'Sullivan
An enormously entertaining visit to planet paranoia, but its escapist pleasures titillate only in direct proportion to the degree of persecution complex that you bring into the theater with you.
80
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott have wisely set their course by Will Smith, who is sensational in a dramatic role that leans on him to carry a movie without the help of aliens or Big Willie-style jokes for every occasion.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
It offers a solid two hours of pure, escapist entertainment.
70
Chicago Reader - Lisa Alspector
The social criticism is as unforced as the humor (and the references to "The Conversation") in this 1998 conspiracy thriller, whose spirited action is balanced by an almost contemplative attitude toward surveillance phobias and the movie cliches they've spawned.
