Simply Perfect

Redundant and unnecessary.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

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.

The film is an abortion on screen. OMG who wrote this piece of ***t? I have seen these actors in other works and I know that they can act. What happened? The script contains every overused slang phrase of modern speech. The actors deliver lines like they are in a high school play. The worst performance by someone playing a female investigative journalist (she must be sleeping with the producer)I ever seen on screen.Better yet, how did this ever get released? I saw this when I was looking for something to watch on cable that I had not already seen 10xs. I saw the cast Billy Zane--always good--Eric Roberts--always good. Not a chance this time and for god's sake what happened to Steve Bauer? I hope they did it for the money and the money was good.amazing.

That's the typical film I love to see, even if it is a very bad one. The acting, shooting, dialogues, characters are awful. Most TV movies arr far better than this non sense. That's probably one of the worst films ever made. Only one among thousands of this kind, I must admit. But the story is very interesting, because unusual. And I love what is unusual. No real leads in this feature, no good guys vs bad guys. In this tale there are actually many bad guys. And no ethics at all. No f...happy ending either. I really love that, even, I repeat, if the film is forgettable for most of the viewers.

***SPOILERS*** sloppily made international political thriller that has to do with a nominee for vice president Louisiana Governor Chip Majors who's somehow involved, in knowing too much, about the North Korean uranium enrichment program that's threatening world peace. That's if the North Koreans are able to produce military grade plutonium to fit into their intercontinental missiles and .150 to .300 mm artillery shells.It's before Chip is to attend a major contributer shindig at a swanky New Orleans hotel that he decides to let off some steam by fooling around with his favorite $1,000.00 a pop hooker so he can loosen himself up for the important political affair. It's just when he popped himself up with a couple of Viagra pills and is about to go into action that Chip notices that his sexual partner is, with a gun and silencer attached to it, planing to rub him out before he can even pull his pants off. Beating her, the hooker, to the punch Chip ends up both disarming and strangling her to death. With the two Louisiana state troopers who were protecting him coming to his aid their shocked to find the governor is such a embarrassing and compromising position. In a hotel room with his clothes off and a dead hooker laying in his bed!The two state troopers Devin Taylor & Tom Cobb, with Taylor somewhat hesitant, are given one million dollars by Chip to cover up the whole mess that he just got himself into. A mess that would not only destroy his political carer but can land him behind bars for 10 to 15 years!The movie jumps from Louisiana to off all places war-torn Afganistan where officer Cobb's estrange wife Gloria is working with the US military as a CIA interrogator. It's then that we realize just what all this has to do with Governor Chip Majors. It's in what Chip knows about the North Koreans and their nuclear ambitions that he can really do them lots of damage. That's if he ever gets elected vice president and informs his boss, his party's Presidential Candidate South Carolina senator Edmund, about them and their future military plans!It's then that the film start to get completely out of hand with gangs of North Korean hit squads who originated out of Afghanistan to provide the North Koreans with cover, in not being connected with them, in trying to eliminate Gov. Majors before he and his running mate Sen. Edmund end up in the oval office! ***SPOILERS*** With a number of shoot ups car chases and explosions to keep the audience from falling asleep, in trying to follow what the film is trying to tell them, Gov Majors is eventually neutralized but only after officer Taylor, by refusing to take his bribe money, decides to turn him in. Officer Cobbs who played along with the corrupt Governor ended up getting iced by the North Korean sponsored assassins to also make sure that he doesn't talk if, like Taylor, he decides to change his mind. In the case of Officer Taylor he doesn't have to be silenced by the hit teams since he, by trying to play the good guy in the movie, ended up getting framed in the Governors murder and is set to spend the rest of his life, if he's in fact not executed, behind bars!P.S Even though he gets top billing in the movie actor Billy Zane is on screen for less then five minutes. Zane plays CIA chief of Far Eastern Operations Graham who orchestrated this entire sleazy and criminal operation and at the same time, in him being almost invisible in the film, not wanting to be connected to it.
