Tense and Captivating

Know Your Enemy is a fantastic drama triggered by a road rage incident. The story is very well written, and keeps the viewer's attention throughout the entire runtime. The twists and turns will make you think and it will challenge you. I really liked the use of flashback. The camerawork is smooth and stylish. Great direction also. And of course, the actors give understated, powerful performances. Check it out!

Gritty home invasion film

Know Your Enemy is about a Middle Eastern man who goes crazy after being cut-off while driving. His rage goes beyond the moment as he seeks to make the people in the car who cut him off pay. He follows the couple in the car to their home, where he confronts them. With a gun. Great indie film.

Intense thriller in a very confined space

The film started off with me thinking this is a sort of cliche hostage type thriller, using race related stereotypes. However, I was then dragged into the story of the main characters, who's acting is simply magnificent.

We are almost the entire film in one location. The confined space helps to even drag us further into the lives of the protagonists. Slowly their story enfolds, cultural clashes intensify the conflict. I won't go any further, otherwise I'd spoil it :) But I think this is definitely worth watching!

Does a lot with a little!

When a road rage incident turns into a home invasion, 2 cultures clash in a tense, psychological drama. I love films that do a lot with very little. And this film is a great example! With minimal cast & locations, the filmmakers manage to create an intelligent, suspenseful film that keeps you glued to the screen.

Good mostly single location drama/thriller.

The opening shot lays out the geography of the house nicely. So there's no confusion to where any of the action takes place later. The acting is solid. And there's some nice chemistry between three leads.

The intruder looks a bit like Oscar Issacs, so it's go that going for it right off the bat. There's plenty of long takes and shots, which helps ratchet up the suspense nicely. They make great use of the location, but this is the actor's show al the way
