Summary: good enough thriller for J Lo fans....
Review: I was drawn to this movie because I am a Jennifer Lopez fan and absolutely loved her 2001 film "Angel Eyes." "Enough" is a pretty good, yet different kind of thriller....it's got the suspense and horror, but it is mixed with a little bit of a sweeter side, as well. Simple enough storyline: Lopez plays Slim, your typical single waitress who falls for and marries Mitch, her "dream man," only to realize several years later that he is manipulative, adulterous, violent, and worse. One simple slap turns into death threats, and it is a life-and-death struggle for Slim just to take the first step and get out of the house with her five-year-old daughter Gracie. The horror persists as Mitch continues to stalk them for as long as he can, until Slim finally refuses to stop living with it and surrender hers and Gracie's spots as the victims. No doubt that Lopez delivers a strong, solid, powerhouse performance in this film....I guess the reason I only give it 3 stars is because of the absurdity of it all. Regardless of everything else, you can't ignore the evident craziness in this movie. I mean, the woman marries this maniac and doesn't even detect a trace of that side until their child is 5 years old....she even goes so far as to consider him an absolutely perfect man who can do no wrong. Is the complete cover-up of a personality like Mitch's really that easy? Um....maybe not. The movie pretty much follows the message that Slim had to literally kill her husband to keep her life and the life of her little daughter...is it just that typical "horror film" formula? I guess so....but it's also pretty sick, if you ask me. Pretty grotesque ending with that showdown between Mitch and Slim... the only saving grace there is that little scene they squeezed in at the very end. Like it's really a happy ending. I guess it was considered more like closure for Slim and Gracie, but.... well, you can watch the film and make up your own interpretations. I'd recommend this film mostly for the solid acting. The horror storyline wasn't what convinced me.

Summary: Like Watching A Bomb Restructure Itself
Review: Be sure of this: "Enough" is a silly, shaky and sloppy mess of a movie -- but one that you may end up loving anyway. Before it reached the second half, I was contemplating turning it off, because the first half is full of all-too-familiar abused-wife-in-jeopardy scenes and a female character -- the wife, Slim (Jennifer Lopez) -- whose uncertainty about her feelings for her menacing husband, Mitch (Billy Campbell, fresh off a fine run on TV's "Once and Again") waivers too quickly and unrealistically (within a snap, she goes from "I love him too much" to "I'm outta here!"). Also, Mitch's sudden change from lovey-dovey to meanie-weanie comes from nowhere, although Campbell plays the despicable man well. Finally, the sigh-inducing scene titles (e.g., "how they met") add absolutely nothing to a movie that, in its early stages, is already approaching "Do Not Resuscitate."But then something happens that injects a shock of adrenaline into the film: while on the run and hiding out from Mitch, Slim gets caught in an intense car chase with one of her hubby's cohorts. That's where the movie catches a burst of wind, and continues to get better and better, all the way through to the exciting, "woo-hoo"-inducing climax. Up until Slim makes a resolve not to take the fear any more, Lopez plays the part unremarkably. But as soon as Slim goes all commando, the performance catches fire. Everything leading up to and including the final wife-on-husband blowout is just fun. By the time the movie ends, you kinda forget how much shrapnel it was throwing out there. "Enough" pulls itself together well by the end, delivering nicely on the expectations aroused by the earlier manipulations.

Summary: Nice film if a bit predictable..
Review: I enjoyed this film myself, but like other posters have said, it's a cliche movie. Still, I think Jennifer puts up a good performance as do the other actors considering their paper roles. The one bright light that stands out though throughout this entire movie is the young actress playing J-Lo's daughter. She really steals the scenes whenever she comes on screen. I was pretty much watching this movie for the training sequences as I'm more of a fighting film fan and enjoy those types of movies. However, I found the intro to Krav Maga a bit abrupt with its sudden appearance with practically no buildup. I was also hoping that it was Slim's former boyfriend who was going to be the trainer and not someone new who just popped up. I was also looking forward to see if he'd get into a fight with that jerk of an FBI agent who ruined his coach, but, alas, they let me down there.
Anyways, the dvd does have both standard and widescreen formats on it. You choose which format you want to view before the selection menu pops up. The extra features are sparse if any. You only get J-lo's video and some filmographies. That's about it including some extra language tracks. No commentaries, no making of featurettes. A very spartan dvd if you ever saw one. Probably not worth the regular dvd price unless you're a J-Lo fan. I'd find a better lower price for this dvd.

Summary: The only thing good about this movie...
Review: is that Jennifer Lopez is in it. She is beautiful and does her job well. The story is an improbable one at best with a supporting cast that doesn't quite get the job done. This could have been a superb movie. As it is, this is a remake or wannabe of "Sleeping With The Enemy" with Julia Roberts which was a first-rate movie in every way. This one just doesn't manage to elcit much emotion except for boredom.

Summary: Nothing can describe how truly stupid this film is
Review: In the same vein as Panic Room this is yet another woman-rambo film that, for some unknown reason, is gracing theatre screens everywhere. Here the character played by Jennifer Lopez marries into a life of privilege only to discover 'when it's too late' that her privilege has become her prison. Saving herself and her daughter from the man she married, the movie plays out to a black leotard climax that is laughable. Fortunately, and quite unlike Panic Room, not all the men were distilled to the state of limp amebas or classic neanderthals. However this cannot save the film. I like Jennifer Lopez. She is an intelligent and capable actor but this movie gives her nothing but stereotyped mush and ridiculous motivations to work with. The film gets two stars but only because people tend not to read reviews with only one star. How many stars should it get? 0.

Summary: An underrated movie
Review: At times it seems the critics decide certain actresses are only good for viewing and can't really be taken seriously for their acting abilities. Such may be the case for Jennifer Lopez who, though a beautiful model and singer, never garners much acclaim for her talents in carrying a film. Surely with ENOUGH that myth will be put to rest. Though the story is an oft repeated type of avenger/revenger circle, Lopez manages to pull off this one as a sensitive mother, a product of an unhappy parenting, a woman afraid of commitment until making one nearly costs her life, and in all the aspects of this evolving character she shines. She is becoming a fine actress who deserves more notice. The supporting cast includes Juliette Lewis in a fine performance as her confidant/friend, Billy Campbell and Noah Wyle in uncharacteristic bad-guy roles, and others too numerous to mention. This is one of those white-knuckle suspense films that will provide a thoroughly exciting evening - with the doors safely locked behind you!

Summary: Great Movie - Action and no gore
Review: I really liked this movie. It has action and moves along quickly. I had to pause the DVD every time I left the room for a soda or snack. I would suggest you watch this movie and all the Jennifer Lopez films.

Summary: No More Tears...Enough Is Enough
Review: Enough is by far one of the best films I have seen Jennifer Lopez in. Though the plot is very similar to 'Double Jeopardy' there are still many differences that make this film oh-so entertaining. In this film we find Slim (Jennifer Lopez)in a dead end job going no where until she meets the "man of her dreams"(Billy Campbell). Unfortunately she was terribly mistaken and soon finds out(after giving birth to her bride and joy, her daughter)that her husband is far from the picture of perfection she had painted for him. Running away from her problems she soon realizes she can take no more and that everyone has their limit. No longer the weak push over she once was she fights back!

Summary: J.LO's Best!
Review: Some may argue that it's just another version of the 'female Rocky' - well it's been dubbed that for a reason!! Because Jennifer kicks [butt] in this film, not only physically but artistically as well. She's never been as fit and convincing for such a movie role - ENOUGH get's Two Thumbs Up!!
