Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

By and of itself, "Enemies Among Us" is a sprightly and, within its boundaries, tense film. It deals quite adroitly with the issues of international terrorism, political maneuvering, and American political complicity in international nefariousness. Yet the reason to savor it, the cause to exult in it is, as usual, Robin Givens. Although she is not in any sense the star of the picture--indeed, she really and truly doesn't have that many scenes--her role as government interrogator and former cop's wife Gloria genuinely stands out through her free-flowing sexiness, her sizzling intelligence, and her crisp authoritativeness. When she's leading the questioning of her and her colleagues' international soldier/prisoner, her smooth forcefulness and her graceful sex appeal have us riveted to her. When she's on the phone dealing with her uniformed cop ex (Eric Roberts), her sass and her spirit put us immediately on her side. And when she orders that said soldier/prisoner be "terminated"--translation: killed--after five minutes, her beauty and her suavity prevent us from being repulsed. The lady herself has asserted, concerning the quality she seeks in a mate: "I want someone who can handle me. And I'm not the easiest person to handle." Robin Givens's performance in "Enemies Among Us" puts us in a mood to gladly want to attempt to handle her--and to be fully excited regarding the challenge.

While yes it is corny, a little predictable (find me a movie that isn't these days) but all in all, I loved it. Robin Givens is a great actress and plays an agent in charge of extracting information the old fashion way in order to save the Governor. With a hot assassin, and the scrumptious Billy Zane, you cant go past it. Awesome explosions, though its not The Expendables so it shouldn't be compared to films like that. Independent films are too often knocked and not given a chance which is a real shame. Watch it from outside the box.... That is if your not too closed minded... I don't care what everyone else says.... I LOVED IT!!! (Corny movies are great when you want to relax and not think after a hard days work!)

This is the first time I have EVER complained about a movie. It was so bad that I purposely joined IMDb.com to write a review. The acting is very poor (a real joke)! Robyn Givens actually gave the best performance of the cast-which isn't saying much! Eric Roberts must have known this film would flop. It shows in his demeanor. I kept wondering what was wrong with him. Roberts usually gives a decent performance. Poor Billy Zane tried to give it a shot but the writing and directing seemed to be done by amateurs. I couldn't make it through the film and had to shut it off because I didn't want to waste my time. I plan to read reviews here at IMDb before renting my next movie.

I have to agree with the other posters. Watching this movie is one of the worst experiences of my life. The plot goes nowhere, the acting can't be taken seriously, the dialog is ridiculous, the humor is not funny and the action scenes are lame. It feels so long and it runs only 70 minutes. How can someone be proud and put his name on the screen as writer, producer and director for that ? Even Billy Zane and Eric Roberts who made bad movies should be ashamed for doing this one. I hope that people who keep bashing Uwe Boll take a look at this one. They'll know what a really bad movie looks like. That is terrible and I hope the director will stop doing movies and choose to work in another field.
