Charming and brutal

Brilliant and touching

A different way of telling a story

Don't care what the 'critics' think... this is a great film and a great story! The drama portrays a woman who has obviously had a troubled past but then she's in a comfortable place until she meets her perfect man. Her life is transformed and she's happy....end of story. No; just the beginning! Treachery strikes and chaos, fear and the will to survive ensues. Despite her and her friends best intentions she's driven to a desperate place in order to ensure she and her (gorgeous) daughter survive. Herald the transformation.A gripping film with moments of fear, desolation and warmth...so very well worth watching!

I have been a fan of Jennifer Lopez since 1999, and I saw her in a lot of movies from Monster In Law,to Maid In Manhattan,heck I even seen Angel Eyes and that was good.Enough is a 2002 thriller starring Jennifer Lopez and it tells the story of a hardworking waitress named Slim who got tangled up with some guy who was hitting on her,while a handsome man played by Billy Campbell saves her from the guy that was hitting on Slim(and this all happened really quick BTW). First she met the guy at the café/diner where she worked,than she got married to him and then she had a CHILD with him all in the 15 minute intro into the film. But as Slim thinks that her marriage to Campbell's charcther is a life full of bliss,it all turns sour when he starts hitting her violently,forcing her to take her daughter and go on the run,but when he catches up with her again,she goes to San Francisco and Michigan where in one of her trips on the run she meets a former friend of her's called Joe and changes her name to Erin. But as she is enjoying her new life with a new identity and hairdo will her psychopath husband find her and will she be able to fight back and get rid of him from her life altogether?Bottom line I seen this twice before but I forgot it and I seen it again a few days ago for the second time and quite frankly it wasn't a bad movie. The acting was good,the story was good and the climax at the end was also great. My main issue with this film is the beginning where it says HEY ENOUGH,TO HAVE AND TO HOLD,RUN ETC. Overall I'm giving it a 6.

Jennifer Lopez I am not a fan of that much. But still she shows off her acting chops in a rare drama. She plays Slim a waitress who has an estranged biological father and considers her stepfather, her own father.She thinks a man named Mitch, played to the core by Bill Campbell is her knight in shining armor after he stops Noah Wylie from "getting into Slim's pants!" Both she and Mitch married and have a child named Grace.Soon she realizes that the man she married is a womanizer and abusive man. As she confronts him, he becomes violent towards her both physically and emotionally. Then realizing that he has all the money in the world, including police in his pocket.Slim has no other choice but to try to outrun him and to grab Grace with her. While Mitch is beyond one step behind. As her estranged father at first does not want to help his daughter and granddaughter but having been threatened by Mitch's "friends" posing as FBI agents. He then agrees to pitch in.Also Slim thinks that the only way to stop Mitch is to kill him since the courts also seem to be on his side as money does talk indeed. She takes up some martial arts lessons. And is preparing for a battle with Mitch.Ending is predictable but still, spousal abuse is all too often ignored still. Both before and even after this movie.

A movie where an abused woman finally has had her fill and decides to do something about the situation. And for some reason this came across as overly wake and forced, as though it could never happen in real life. But I was forced to ponder, why. Because had this been a film about, say, an abused factory worker, who decides to take action against his monster of a boss, it wouldn't have been anything extraordinary. But when it's a woman that decides to become proactive, it somehow feel slightly odd and even wrong. Are we so ingrained with our conceptions about what the different genders should be like that seeing a woman take a very masculine stance on something automatically bothers us? Apparently so, or at least I was, to my complete surprise.And therein lies the strength of this film. It's brave enough to take a stance, to have a woman in a role that's usually reserved for males, to do something that's pretty much expected of from men in movies, but which is extremely rare for her gender. In that aspect it's extremely fresh, invigorating and all kinds of awesome.Unfortunately the execution of this bold idea ain't so hot, so to speak. The actors are rather good in their roles, though Jennifer Lopez still has that "I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth" quality to her no matter how much she suffers. Not a flaw really, but she wasn't a perfect fit for the role. But in the end it's the storytelling and the pacing that keep this movie from being great. The basic plot flows pretty well, but there are certain scenes that go by way too fast and some that just go on and on and on... You've all seen movies like this where the third act is really hurried and the final solution comes right out of nowhere with no explanation or forewarning. It doesn't ruin the film, really, but it is more than little aggravating.Still, I can't say that I wasted my time watching this film. It's a good concept with slightly below average execution so as a whole this is still perfectly watchable no matter how you look at it.
