Enough
A Film Review By Paul Perkins
Enough Is Enough
Domestic Abuse happens to lot of women in the US everyday,
some of the women just take it and don’t report it. Some fight back and take
the law in their own hands; that the premise behind Enough.
For Slim (Jennifer Lopez) an ordinary, hard working women,
who have just met the man of her dream Mitch (Billy Campbell), who is a wealthy
contractor worker. So he two starts a relationship together, they get married
and start to raises a family. But after the birth of their daughter Grace, Slim
takes notice that Mitch has a darker side one she never though she would never
seen.
Terrified for her daughter Slim tries to escape the
marriage, but Mitch relentlessly pursues her. She changes her name, her
appearance, her very identify and goes into hiding. Only to be hunted again, no
one can help her, not her friends and not even the police. But Slim has had
enough of fear and running.
Walking into Enough I had another movie that it
reminds me of called Sleeping with the Enemy. Now after seeing the film I can
say it is just like that film just with different actors. The story was ok;
nothing great and nothing that we haven’t seen before.
The acting was ok; Esp. by Jennifer Lopez or Jlow as she is
called in the music world. Jennifer Lopez was much better in the other films she
was in like The Wedding Planner, Out of Sight and Selena. In Enough se had the
look down pack but she just did come through with the acting. She looks like she
got in shape for the role. Her prize ascents look a tad bit smaller.
In Enough there was nothing you did not expect to happen and the story was predictable. The film will do well in the box office Because of the subject matter. This is a film that you can watch but don’t expect too much from the film. Called it Sleeping with the Enemy 2.
