Oh my God, it's him! Enemy of the State

The Oddjob crew have emerged from the Action Movie Landfill clutching another nineties classic. Enemy of the State (1998) is a Washington DC political thriller about a rogue cell within the NSA who are on the hunt for a lawyer who has accidentally come into possession of a tape that incriminates a senior NSA figure (Jon Voight) in the murder of a senator.

The film's principle theme is about the politics of surveillance and the limits of personal freedom in a democracy. The film co-stars Gene Hackman who also starred in a similarly themed film called The Conversation (1974) and there are direct call-backs to this film in Enemy of the State

The film also boasts one of the greatest cameo appearances in the history of cinema.
