The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Watching director Tom Kinninmont's "The Enemy" on DVD, I was felt like I could pause the disk and leave it that way for an eternity. The only reason for seeing this low-budget, lightweight trifle was the casting of former James Bond 007 Roger Moore as the head of MI6. As Dr. Michael Ashton, Luke Perry plays the son of brilliant geneticist George Ashton (Horst Buchholz of "Tiger Bay") and Michael thinks that he knows who is father is. Truth is Perry doesn't have a clue because his father once worked for the KGB, created a deadly toxin, and now is the hunt list of every espionage agency in the world because terrorists want his toxin as a weapon. Kinninmont could have photographed a game of croquet for all the thrills and chills that he drums up in this lukewarm adventure. Luke Perry is as listless as this movie is slow. Perry isn't convincing as a scientist who occasionally pops off a shot at the bad guys and nails one. Roger delivers his lines with class, and he acts like he really believes something terrible is going to happen. Maryam's first cousin once removed, Olivia d'Abo plays pistol-packing Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Penny Johnson. She allies herself with Perry, and they share feelings for one another while Perry's pop (Buchholz) struggles to outwit the villains. The trigger happy villain Mannek (Hendrick Haese of "The Point Men") is fairly brutal and doesn't have a qualm about shooting and killing people who get in his way. Roger Moore gets armed and dangerous during the last ten minutes, and RCMP Inspector John Cregar (Tomi Conti) delivers his lines well, too. Lackluster from start to finish, "The Enemy" is an adversary you shouldn't watch. Only Roger Moore completests should bother.

Horrible acting, horrible cast and cheap props. Would've been a lot better if was set as an action parody style movie. What a waste. Starting from the name of the movie."The Enemy" Naming it "Action Movie" would've made it better. (contributing to the parody effect). The cop looking like a 60 Year old player, the blond girl just having the same blank boring look on her face at all times. Towards the end of the movie him and her are working together to take down the bad guys and every time they exchange words it just feels like the cheap lines given before a sex scene in a porn movie. Horrible. Don't waste your time.

Not as bad a film as i thought it would be.It has a good cast.Nice to see Roger Moore back on screen as well as the use of other British actors.Would like to see more of Olivia D`Abo in future projects.Maybe starring opposite her cousin the sexy Maryam D`Abo.Also a good use of unseen locations such as Luxembourg.Hopefully we will see more UK-European co-productions like this.

This movie was pretty good. The acting was great, and there were some really great actors in it like, Buchholz and Roger Moore. This film is full of surprises. Confusing at times...yes, but the twists and turns of the plot always keeps you in suspense. The only thing that this movie had too much of was exploding cars.
