    The ending is worth watching. J-Lo kicks ass in this movie!
  • July 26, 2008
    Enough takes a reasonable premise - a battered wife tires of running and decides to fight back - and completely ruins it with an laughably bad screenplay filled to the brim with clichés and absurd situations. Waitress Slim marries wealthy construction firm manager Mitch Hiller. ...( read more)But after she gives birth to a daughter Gracie, Slim discovers that Mitch is seeing other women. When she confronts him, he beats her and then starts to try to control everything she does, spying on her wherever she goes. She decides to leave, but after she does so he traces her and sends hired thugs to harass her friends, telling her that if he can?t have her he will make sure nobody else can. She adopts a false name and hides all over the country but he continues to trace her. Eventually she decides that the only way to ever be free is to train herself how to fight and to then return and kill him. Enough does have a nice selection of quirky supporting characters, none of the actors are used to good effect. Noah Wyle, best known for playing Dr. Carter on ER, pops up as a sinister buddy of Campbell's. And while he does seem to be having a good time playing the complete opposite of his ER character, the screenplay never gives him anything more to do than snarl viciously.

    Surprisingly watchable thriller turned revenge flick that really threw my expectations for a loop. Jennifer Lopez pulls off a pretty good performance (for her) and while the story is predictable and has been done many times over, you can't help but ride it out to the end, if only...( read more) to see some ass kicking. It's not 'high art' by any means, but its predictable mediocrity is an entertaining enough way to kill a couple of hours. Will get the girls more hyped up than a bucket of espresso!

Critic Reviews


May 24, 2002
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It's the most tension-producing movie out there right now -- in the best way, it's almost unbearable. full review

May 24, 2002
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

You expect more from director Michael Apted (Enigma) and screenwriter Nicholas Kazan (Reversal of Fortune) than this cliche pileup. full review

May 24, 2002
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

The film is flat. full review

May 24, 2002
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A nasty item masquerading as a feminist revenge picture. full review

May 24, 2002
Claudia Puig, USA Today

The hackneyed story about an affluent damsel in distress who decides to fight her bully of a husband is simply too overdone. full review

    I respect a woman who isn't afraid to throw down with a purpose and for guys who think that it's ok to put their hands on women are just upset because their insecurity has taken over. In other words, they suffer from balls morphed to lips syndrome lol!! WELL DONE JLo!!
