BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
allenstarsky Worst movie ever made ,don't watch,it's the worse movie I ever seen in my life
grakky Did not like it, I understood what it is about but was exciting as watching a movie on how to tie shoelaces, totally not my kind of "psychological thriller". The $3.4M collected at the box office was probably Jake's pay, everyone else worked for free?
hrkepler 'Enemy' is tense psychological thriller. Jake Gyllenhaal gives powerful performance as a neurotic school teacher who, after getting a recommendation from a colleague, watches a movie and notices that one of the bit players looks exactly like him. He decides to look for the actor to meet the guy. Then Gyllenhaal gives another powerful performance as a narcissistic film actor. Yes - doppelganger - how original. But wait, 'Enemy' is kind of film that needs to be watched twice (at least), and many scenes or elements that seem random at first time, are very cleverly all tied together and by the end it all makes sense. Smart writing by Javier Gullon and stylish directing by Denis Villeneuve makes 'Enemy' a film watching experience.
Lindsay Thompson Quite an oddball entry into the filmography of Denis Villaneuve, and also Jake Gyllenhaal -- has echoes of surrealist literature throughout it; think Kafka or the like.At times it struggles to maintain the gripping tension that it's relying on, due to becoming a little too abstract and esoteric in certain segues. But at other times it manages to achieve the thought-provoking originality that it is striving for, and is worth the watch for these moments.I think props to the filmmakers and Gyllenhaal for taking the risk of attempting such quirky material, and well done on the whole for where they got to with it.
