There have been many movies like this that have come before, but this one was more inspiring as I felt that the protagonist took more responsibility for herself by learning to fight and learning self defense. That is an extremely empowering aspect we don't always see, it's usually more about hiding.
Made in the same vein as 'Sleeping with the Enemy' Enough actually manages to entertain and be its own film quite easily. Slim (Jennifer Lopez) thought she was entering domestic bliss when she married Mitch (Billy Campbell), but after the birth of their first child; Mitch reveals his darker side and Slim goes on the run with their daughter.
Now hunted by her spouse, she finally has enough, and engages Mitch in a battle of wits and physical ability.
'Enough' is good entertainment and despite some minor flaws it has plenty of action, thrills and tension.
OK it's nowhere near the best thriller around, but its worth a look 6/10

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.
The film is about a husband who beats his wife. So Slim (J.LO) and her daughter Gracy have to run away from LA to North Michigan. That's the beginning of a dangerous chase because her husband Mitch (Billy Campbell) is a stalker and follows her across the whole country. She decides to hurt him more than he has ever done it to her. The topic of the movie is that not only the man is the strong part of a relationship and how a woman fights in such a situation. J.Lo convinces in her role as an angry mother and even soap-smartie Noah Wyle surprises as a bad boy. The film isn't a blockbuster but nevertheless enjoyable.

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!!
