Enough
Movie Review:
Slim
( Jennifer Lopez) is a waitress who marries a rich guy and
for a short time afterwards lives the American dream. Big
house, nice car and supposedly a loving husband. That is
until after she has her baby and she finds out her husband
Mitch (Bill Campbell) is cheating on her.
When
she confronts him about his infidelity, Mitch basically
tells her that not only should she accept his adultery but
also that he basically owns her. When Slim complains, he
punches her really hard and warns her never to leave him.
As soon
as she can, Slim grabs her daughter Gracie (Tessa Allen)
and runs away. It doesnt take long for Mitch to catch
up with her. Before he can hurt her she manages to escape.
With his connections to the police department and vast resources
Mitch is able to chase his wife and find her using his goons
to intimidate anybody that comes in his way. But every time
he gets close to grabbing her, Slim gets away.
After
several close call, Slim decides to stop running away and
start fighting back. She cuts her hair and takes martial
arts lessons as she plans her counterattack.
If the
story sounds familiar it is because it reminds you of such
movies as Sleeping With The Enemy, Karate Kid and Rambo.
Although not original or realistic, Enough does deliver
the goods when it comes to creating good suspense.
Director
Michael Apted moves the story along in a brisk pace filling
the screen with plenty of tension, terror and anxiety.
By the
way if you want to see Noah Wyle play a really bad guy who
is nothing like the character he plays on the television
show ER than this is the movie to see.
Enough
is a very well made genre thriller that shows that even
without bringing anything new to the table you can still
pack a lot of entertainment value by applying great skills
to old formulas that have proven themselves in the past.
