It's not politics as usual, or is it? The governor of Louisiana is about to become the vice-presidential candidate for his party but a murder and an international web spanning from South Africa to Pakistan and North Korea might just get in the way.

Reviews
Murphy Howard 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.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
brooksduane54 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.
wchb712 ***Spoiler Alert***** This movie is by far the worse move in the history of film making. The acting is so contrived that you swore the 'actors' were reading from queue cards. I was so painful to watch as this cast of misfits tried to add feelings and emotions to their lines. The story goes nowhere. Cliché abound. And the action sequences come from the old Batman or Superman TV shows. Remember the villain ducking a good 2 seconds before Batman took a swing? Remember the slowly thrown hand gun at Superman and he ducks? Same things here except for the wacky cartoon bubbles. For the love of all that is holy, this should have been made as a cartoon. No way any competent actors would sign up for this unless they are in if for the money grab. I agree with the other reviewers that the acting was on par with a 10th grade play. A Telemundo soap opera thinks that this movie was over-the-top. Save your $1 for the 99cent burger instead.
treysweeney Terrible movie. This should be labeled a comedy. Separate plot lines (connected by a mere unnecessary phone call) mixed with terrible acting cause a true one-of-a-kind movie watching experience.How expensive is good camera work? All the shots in this movie are from the view point of a midget in the back of a crowd; always looking up and peoples backs listening to people talk.All background information is given through long, boring monologues. As far as the plot goes, this could possibly be an interesting start to a political thriller. But it took way to long to go nowhere with it.All in all, a terrible movie. 1 star. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
ramst53 The only other reviewer calls this "feature" awful. Trust me when I say that is too kind a word. I usually try to find something redeeming in most films I watch, but there is simply nothing here. I often wonder, when I see productions like these with big names in them (Zane, Roberts, Givens-does she count?), if those people are desperate for money. I know Zane just had a show recently on ABC that was canceled, and Roberts does some decent work here and there, but their decision-making skill have to be called into question when they attach their names to this.Subplots that are sort of relevant but don't really make sense and don't come to a resolution, bad acting all around, horrible editing and shot selection, horrific special effects, and production value that looks as if it was shot with a hand-held digital camera all contribute to this "fine" feature.Avoid at all costs. Please. I beg of you....
