First off...why does the fact that this movie deals with spousal abuse and a woman smart enough to run and hide automatically make it a ripoff of "Sleeping with the Enemy"? Because "The Count of Monte Cristo" has swordplay, does that make it a ripoff of all of the Zorro movies, or the Robin Hood movies? Does the fact that Spiderman is a Marvel Superhero make it a ripoff of "The X-Men"? Of course not. And only the very basic storylines make "Enough" and "Sleeping..." similar at all. Let me illustrate...

In "Sleeping with the Enemy", Julia Roberts plays a weak willed woman who stays with her mentally abusive husband until she finally has enough and leaves when she gets the chance to fake her death. Julia never changes...always the weak willed, scared out of her gourd hiding wife.

In "Enough", Jennifer Lopez plays a strong minded woman who decides to leave her abusive husband as soon as she finds out what he is really like. Jennifer never changes either...but in this case she maintains her strength, and although scared out of her gourd also, she sets out to confront him in a physical battle...his forte usually.

This movie was great entertainment. Anyone who says they felt this was a total yawner, with no tension at all is too critical. This is what entertainment is about. This was a great way to spend 2 hours as far as I am concerned.

Ms Lopez is becoming a better actress with each film. But, as far as the female actresses go in this flick...the little girl who portrayed Jennifer's daughter out-acted everyone else...male or female. Two thumbs UP for this little lady!!

I never write reviews, but i've seen this movie twice and it does the job of keeping you intrigued and shows how someone can take control of another's life/well being. I wasn't going to comment until I was reading the bad reviews, and it seems each of them is insulting the movie; but also each of them bring up J-Los body!!! what does her body have to do with the movie? just say it's bad and move on!! don't start insulting looks.

Well done girl damn. shame that most of the tim you have to take care of everything yourself in cases like this and many others. Good movie

This is only the 3rd time I have viewed this film and feel that is one of JLO's finest performances! She is excellent in the way she approaches what she had to do with the psycho husband she married. Those type of men are relentless and very dangerous so she defended herself and her child. Leading male and supporting performances from Juliette Lewis and others were very good performances as well.

I don't understand the bad reviews but I'm glad she has enough good reviews to outweigh the bad ones.

This film is about a woman who finds out that her husband is not the great man he appears to be. She refuses to accept her fate as an abused housewife, and does everything she can to change her destiny.

"Enough" wastes no time beating around the bush. Right from the beginning, we already see how abusive the cheating husband is. Slim, the determined wife, fights back. She appears helpless at first, creating much sympathy for her. She lives in threat and danger every day. There is much suspense and thrill throughout the film. As the film progress, we see the satisfying finale. I hope all spouses who are battered can stand up against the terror like Slim does.
