Enhanced

Everything about Enhanced was middle of the road. The acting was generally okay, nothing monumental and occasionally lackluster. The special effects were basic, occasionally toeing the line into campy, but generally acceptable for a movie of this budget. The writing/plot was probably the weakest link, and the fight scenes probably the strongest, but neither really moved into the extremes of terrible or excellent. The plot was generally derivative with just barely enough originality to distinguish it from similar films.

If you are content to entertain yourself with some decent fight scenes without high expectations for the story - if you don't have something better to watch - Enhanced isn't bad. It just isn't particularly good, either.

The German titles of movies .. gotta love or hate them I reckon. They kind of give you an impression what this is about. Which I reckon ... well enhanced could have been something different, but of course it isn't. Now the movie is quite easy to follow to say the least. You have to be into Science Fiction ... if you are you'll be more than entertained.

Having said, you can also just call this predictable and not really good ... it is a b-movie ... so you have to have some low budget love! Or at least it helps if you want to like this. Actors are ok considering the genre and the budget. Effects - the same! Not something to get too excited about, but more than decent. Other low budget movies have way more issues in that category.

I just wanted to say that this film is bad and blame it not only on the tired formulaic plot, the low budget and the obvious lack of care about the quality of the production, but also on the actors. Alanna Bale has a face that ensures she will get roles, even if in things like this, but she isn't a good actress. She could try to become one, but I don't think she wants to go further than the teeny woman that emotes like a spoiled child in shows like Killjoys or Enhanced.

Back to the film, imagine that the reason superhumans exist is one being extracted from a separate dimension, but they don't show how that happened, or how it escaped, just that some time after, it is hunting the mutants for his own purposes and everybody forgot he existed?! There is no chemistry between any of the characters, there are numerous plot holes, the acting is bad, the special effects not worth mentioning. Just avoid this.

Some of the pace and acting could have been much better. Story was kind of "let's get as much stuff in, and leave heaps out" to attain the 1 hour 39 minute run time. This could have been chopped down to about 80 minutes by leaving out "filler" scenes. The "enhanced serial killer" was hardly touched upon, we just have to take their word for it. A bit of a mash, but was entertaining enough. Don't be surprised if this is a pilot movie to a series. Worth a watch.

It had a pretty good premise and was enjoyable for the first 30 minutes or so. Unfortunately, the bad script and over reliance on fight scenes ultimately doomed it. If they had concentrated more on the story and plot, instead of the "action", it might have actually been pretty good.
