The Enemy

Ho-hum. An inventor's(Horst Buchholz)deadly biological weapon is in danger of falling into the wrong hands. Unknowingly his son(Luke Perry)has been working on the antedote all along. Enter CIA agent Olivia d'Abo and the cat-and-mouse car chases and gunfire begins. Also in the cast are:Tom Conti, Hendrick Haese and an aging Roger Moore. Moore seems to haggardly move through this mess definitely not one of his better efforts. Perry fans will be accepting. d'Abo is wrong for the role, but nice to look at.

Horrible acting, horrible cast and cheap props. Would've been a lot better if was set as an action parody style movie. What a waste. Starting from the name of the movie.

"The Enemy" Naming it "Action Movie" would've made it better. (contributing to the parody effect). The cop looking like a 60 Year old player, the blond girl just having the same blank boring look on her face at all times. Towards the end of the movie him and her are working together to take down the bad guys and every time they exchange words it just feels like the cheap lines given before a sex scene in a porn movie. Horrible. Don't waste your time.

Not as bad a film as i thought it would be.

It has a good cast.Nice to see Roger Moore back on screen as well as the use of other British actors.

Would like to see more of Olivia D`Abo in future projects.Maybe starring opposite her cousin the sexy Maryam D`Abo.

Also a good use of unseen locations such as Luxembourg.

Hopefully we will see more UK-European co-productions like this.

Might amuse those who like to say - ooh wasn't he in thanks to appearances by Tom Conti, Hortz Bucholz and Roger Moore. I find it hard to remember what was what here. Bucholz is some sort of mad scientist refugee on the run type. His equally intelligent son, Luke Perry, needs to recreate his experiments quick when he disappears. After that it is all - who can he trust and a couple of explosions. The final twist is well signalled.

Why is it that critics write bad reviews on things that are good such as the theatre the better a play is the more it receives negative reviews. The same goes for films this one especially, I promise that this film is very good and definatly worth watching, ignore those people who do not know a good film when they see one, they are wrong.
