lot of action and superb and believable acting by Will Smith and Gene Hackman . the best part of the film be see the technology available by the government to do satelite spy , et al. . have a bunch of 19-yr-old do the observe , however be a bit too much of a wishful rip-off of `` sneaker . '' I do not buy it at all , even though I want to .  know that there be literally surveillance everywhere nowadays , it be highly unlikely that assassin with the government would have make a hit in such a public , open place in the first place . some of the premise make sense , but it go everywhere . this film try to be too many thing , part `` sneaker , '' part `` Patriot Games '' and part `` french connection . '' it do not work . the movie be well shoot and those who be satisfy with pyrotechnics , action and spy gadget will still enjoy this film . I like it , but not enough to ever watch it again .
