Sounds a bit like (but isn't) Strange Days.
Haven't seen it, but, if it follows the novel, does the adaptation of
Iain Banks' Complicity work in this way?
Evgeni: anti-American not of course because of their nationality, but
the socio-economic circumstances that allows USA to be placed in a
position of predominance w.r.t. military observational technology (the
NSA claims to be 5 years ahead of any computer in the world)...
[That said, and I meant to include UK in my previous rant, Britain has
most CCTV cameras per citizen in the world, I believe... Red Road got
it right... As did Orwell.]
(If not mentioned, other films with suveillance tech include Patriot
Games, My Little Eye, any voyeur film, any 'stakeout' film [including
Another Stakeout, of course {heaven bless Madeleine Stowe}], etc, etc,
etc...)
