Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

gray, powerful, slow. a film about ashes of war. about the traces of memories and need to escape from yourself. a bitter exercise of reconciliation with the past. it is not the only from ex-Yugoslav cinema but it is meritorious for the science to present the realities of a world in change. that does it not only an admirable movie but a profound , touching testimony. not only about post-war Bosnia but for the way of survive in East. it is a film who must see it not for individual experiences or for the acting. but for a more clear image about a period and for to define existence not exactly as adventure or passing. and, sure, the basic motif - it could not be an American heroic blockbuster.

The Dayton Peace Accord brings the Bosnian civil war to an end and a unit of Bosnian Serbs find a Serb civilian in a nearby factory . From then on strange things start happening I haven't seen too many Bosnian war films from the Blakans but the ones I've seen such as NO MAN'S LAND and PRETTY VILLAGE PRETTY FLAMES would seem more at home on the theatre stage rather than a cinema screen . By this I mean the location is static and the story is dialogue heavy and there is a small cast list . This slightly bizarre film by Dejan Zecevic is no different In many ways THE ENEMY is similar to the 2001 British film THE BUNKER except for one important difference and that is THE BUNKER is a confirmed supernatural film where as THE ENEMY isn't . In truth this movie is a film that is entirely open to interpretation . Is the man the Chetniks find really an agent of either God or Satan ? Or is the mindset of the Chetniks something that leads to self fulfilling prophecy ? One problem this leads to from a cinematic point of view is that not much happens . I do remember my problem with THE BUNKER is that low brow horror would have been preferable to the psychological chills suggested and this problem is reinforced with this film . The story doesn't actually get going in to the final third which makes for a rather mundane film which is a shame since the director and cinematographer bring a gloomy mis-en-scene to the movie but don't make the most of it I suppose one positive that can be taken from THE ENEMY is that of the five previous comments on this page two are from Croatia and two from Serbia and they're all unanimous in enjoying this film which makes me optimistic that there is hope in the world

The Hard Truth - that I would call it... Real truth of life. There's a bit of Devil and a bit of God in everyone of us. Watch it - think of the real Enemy. The only movie in the last ten years for which I am sorry that I have not watched on the big cinema screen!!! Spooky, mind blowing, horror and a thriller, with a little bit of psychological drama - just not to take viewers for granted. Zecevic gives us first-class blockbuster. What is the meaning of life? Do we exist? How does God look like? What is the Devil? Is there a God? And all that happens around a small group of Serbian military de-miners working on fresh minefield in the center of an even more fresher PEACE :)

This movie, this is an amazing story of essence of life, present ending of human evolution and Introduction to the end of the world as we know. This is not just a war movie, or local story. This is an universal story of the end of the human race. We have released the Evel and we are done on this planet. Not to mention excellent cast, actors who are brilliant in a specific and for some, completely new roles, and scene, Scenography, light, environment, camera... the overall atmosphere... Sound and ... all !!! The quality of acting was amazing. Transformation of characters and impressions of symbols... My God, this is an excellent Movie! I was breathless during the entire projection. The movie has not only psychological, but physical impact on me as a simple viewer. I salute Mr. Zecevic and the cast! Brilliant!
