Enough, a movie that tries to portray domestic abuse faced by women around the world. This movie involves an abusive husband, a clever, protective mother and an innocent, frightened daughter. This movie showcases how powerful a mother's love can be, as can be seen by Jennifer Lopez's performance as she is seen to go so far as to train to be able to defend herself and protect her daughter from her dangerous husband.The movie was good because it was tense and did not waste any time. This movie had some exciting car chases and a few pretty good plot twists and jump scares.Overall, it is a movie that I would recommend to watch to raise awareness against abuse.

This One took a Whole Lot of Punishment from Critics. Jennifer Lopez Almost Always takes a Whole Lot of Punishment from Movie Fans. J-Lo Dishes out a Whole Lot of Punishment in this Film but Not Before being the Victim of a Whole Lot of Punishment from an Ultra-Rich Abusive Husband.Actually Lopez is an Underrated Actress. Despite Her Reputation as being a Bitchy Diva who Throws Tantrums when the Bottled Water in Her Dressing Room is not the Requested Name Brand. She can be Remarkably Good at Playing a Suffering "Everygirl" and Her Range is Acceptable. She can be at Times Better than the Highly Overrated Sandra Bullock who Looks Bitchy On Screen even when Her Character is Not.This is an OK Chick Flick Thriller that is Miles from High Art but Entertaining Nonetheless. It has some Time Compression Holes and Asks Much from the Audience in Terms of Suspension of Disbelief, but what Movie Doesn't.This can be Cathartic for Female Victims of Male Dominance and Physical Abuse. There are Clichés and Cumbersome Parts to the Story but Overall it is Worth a Watch for the Not Highly Discerning and those who can Go with the Flow. But J-Lo Bashers will no Doubt Pile On because that is what is Expected from Knee-Jerks.

Waitress Slim (Jennifer Lopez) falls for Mitch (Billy Campbell) and marries him. They have a child together. He's a psychopath and starts beating on her. She runs away with help from her friends. Only Mitch is relentless.This is a relentlessly Lifetime movie. There isn't any motivation other than these are psychos. There's a reason why the courtship and much of their relationship is skipped over. A careful examination is never in the cards here.Then the movie goes Rambo. Director Michael Apted is trying to find a way out. It goes into a convoluted idea of Self Defense. If she was going to kill him anyways, why would she go through all the hand to hand. It was maybe a 5 for most of the way, but the ending is way too ridiculous.

In the film Enough, a young waitress, Slim(Jennifer Lopez), marries the seemingly ideal husband, Mitch Hiller (Billy Campbell. However after their first child is born his true colors are shown forcing Slim to flee with their daughter. This film basically is a tale of a cat and mouse chase between an abusive husband and a distraught mother. This movie started off good with good acting from Jennifer Lopez and a good performance from Billy Campbell making him seem like the perfect husband. However, this film did have many gaps. For example the scene where Mitch and Slim buy their first house is just silly. Billy Campbell literally walks up to the owner hands him a check and talks him into selling it. Also the movie had a self defense theme however the film was basically made up of Slim running from Mitch, hiding with a friend, being found by Mitch and so on. Only for fifteen minutes did they focus on her training for self defense. Overall this movie was more good then bad, however its sloppy structure and believability lands it at a six. I would recommend it to those that do not try to analyze it to deeply because these viewers will be disappointed.
