 Female EmpowermentJul 12, 2004
By Debbie Lee Wesselmann
Jennifer Lopez stars as Slim in this thriller about an abused woman who flees her rich and well-connected husband Mitch (Bill Campbell). At stake is not only Slim's well-being but also the psychological and physical protection of their young daughter Gracie (played adorably by little Tessa Allen). Although this flick has the trappings of a feminist fight-back story with its theme of domestic violence and custody laws, make no mistake: this is a thriller through and through, with twists and violence and personal peril at every turn. Women will delight in the training scenes where J-Lo prepares to fight back, and men will hardly mind the sight of the buff actress learning to defend herself. Yeah, the premise as it unfolds is a little ridiculous, especially as Mitch seems to have a GPS system to track his fleeing wife, but the escapism is pure adrenaline-rushing fun. Jennifer Lopez is naturally appealing and solid in her performance, although the emotional range of the role seems to demand only fierceness and fright. Still, the chemistry between her and young co-star Allen is unmistakable, even poignant. Noah Wylie does a fantastic turn as Robbie, a character I won't describe for fear of spoiling the plot. Juliette Lewis has her usual on-screen charisma even though she's not given much to work with. This film was much better than I expected. Viewers hoping for something new or even substantial on the theme of domestic violence will be disappointed since it only serves as a plot device to put Lopez's character in danger. This would make a great date flick since men will appreciate the constant action (not to mention the lead actress) and women will be drawn to the subject matter.

 Don't listen to the negative - this was EXCELENTSep 03, 2005
By Little Miss Cutey
What a surprisingly great movie. I loved it so much I could watch it again and again. Remember Jennifer acted before singing and although you often wonder if people can manage the two sucessfully, - she can. This was chilling and well acted on her behalf. Revenge is sweet and she gives back to her ex what she had to take. Get this movie. You'll love it. I would have given it six stars if I could have. It's a good thriller and very captivating. Her daughter is well played by the little girl who played Hannah in Providence.

 Five Stupid Things a Battered Woman Can Do When She LeavesDec 09, 2002
As a survivor of severe domestic violence, I was very curious to watch Enough a few nights ago. After watching it, I thought maybe the title should be, "Five Stupid Things A Battered Woman Can Do When She Leaves Her Abuser". Sorry, but I felt this movie, though moving on an emotional level, sent the WRONG message to battered women and about battered women. Here they are, the top dumb things to do when leaving an abuser: 1. Don't report it to the police, even with a huge bruise on your face
2. Don't go to a shelter, stay in a hotel where you are not protected
3. Don't enlist legal help (an attorney, a protective order)
4. Run with your child, out of state, with little or no money.
5. Prepare to and kill your batterer. I'm not trying to be heartless or cruel, but in "real life" , not hollywood, all of these things which she did will land a REAL battered woman in a big pile of doodoo called PRISON or DEATH. I wish that instead of melodramatizing the situation of battered women, they would have showed her being smart, enlisting the police and legal help, and finally winning in court. Battered women that kill their abusers usually wind up with life in prison. Battered women that go out of state with their children also wind up doing time for kidnapping, and losing custody. Battered women that go to a hotel to escape their abusers often wind up dead. Oh, she did do one good thing: she left after she got hit the first time.

Incredible!!!Apr 22, 2003
By musiclover13
I don't understand why so many critics panned this film starring the ubiquitous Jennifer Lopez, but I rather enjoyed the film. "Enough" is a film about a woman who marries what she thinks is the perfect man, but who turns out to be a nightmare. He cheats on her and throws it in her face, and he also is abusive. Jennifer Lopez's main concern is protecting her daughter from all of the pain and anguish that her husband has put into their lives. This movie is filled with a lot of suspense and jumps, which reminds me of a similar film, "Sleeping With the Enemy." The climactic scene at the end where Jennifer Lopez's character finally gives her husband what he deserves will have you cheering in your seats. If nothing else, this film can show people, especially women, that no matter how small or weak you are, you can still protect yourself and the lives of your children from anyone who tries to hurt them. Watch this movie!

EnoughJun 03, 2002
By talkshowgirl
This film marks a sign of the times: women are hitting back. This one did it with her bare hands! 'Enough' also shows that actress Jennifer Lopez is more than just a pretty face. Here she demonstrated some of her athletic talents. And, yes, there are battered wives from all walks of life. Money can afford to do even more damage.
