User Reviews

Better than i expected

Made in the same vein as 'Sleeping with the Enemy' Enough actually manages to entertain and be its own film quite easily. Slim (Jennifer Lopez) thought she was entering domestic bliss when she married Mitch (Billy Campbell), but after the birth of their first child; Mitch reveals his darker side and Slim goes on the run with their daughter.

Now hunted by her spouse, she finally has enough, and engages Mitch in a battle of wits and physical ability.

'Enough' is good entertainment and despite some minor flaws it has plenty of action, thrills and tension.

OK it's nowhere near the best thriller around, but its worth a look 6/10
