This is one film which uses modern technology in one of the most useful ways. The main draw of the film other than the excellent, all-star cast (Will Smith, Gene Hackman, Jon Voight, Gabriel Byrne..) is the clever use of editing and camera technology to draw suspense and awe to a viewer. Smith's paranoid performance is the best of his career (hated him in ID4 and MiB) and Gene Hackman (good guy finally) basically reprises his character from The Conversation in his best performance of all his seemingly endless action-thrillers. I think this is Jerry Bruckheimer's best film yet.. intelligent, witty, suspenseful, well-acted, well-directed, polished.
