Enemies Among Us

This is the first time I have EVER complained about a movie. It was so bad that I purposely joined IMDb.com to write a review. The acting is very poor (a real joke)! Robyn Givens actually gave the best performance of the cast-which isn't saying much! Eric Roberts must have known this film would flop. It shows in his demeanor. I kept wondering what was wrong with him. Roberts usually gives a decent performance. Poor Billy Zane tried to give it a shot but the writing and directing seemed to be done by amateurs. I couldn't make it through the film and had to shut it off because I didn't want to waste my time. I plan to read reviews here at IMDb before renting my next movie.

I don't usually make reviews, but in this case, I felt it necessary to do so for the good of mankind.

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. On a scale of 1-10, I gave it 1, but only because I couldn't choose 0 or lower.

All that ever happens in this film is talking, and half the time it's off-topic and supported by terrible acting.

The acting is bad, the plot/story is bad, the action is bad. Take my advice and stay away from this.

I can never get back the hour and a bit that I lost while watching this, but I can hopefully help you to avoid making the same mistake.

The only other reviewer calls this "feature" awful. Trust me when I say that is too kind a word. I usually try to find something redeeming in most films I watch, but there is simply nothing here. I often wonder, when I see productions like these with big names in them (Zane, Roberts, Givens-does she count?), if those people are desperate for money. I know Zane just had a show recently on ABC that was canceled, and Roberts does some decent work here and there, but their decision-making skill have to be called into question when they attach their names to this.

Subplots that are sort of relevant but don't really make sense and don't come to a resolution, bad acting all around, horrible editing and shot selection, horrific special effects, and production value that looks as if it was shot with a hand-held digital camera all contribute to this "fine" feature.

Avoid at all costs. Please. I beg of you....

This movie is one of the worst I have ever seen. Bad right from the beginning. I am 2/3 through it and am writing this review. What an awful movie.

The story is useless. The political bias is so obvious. It is like watching an MSNBC opinion piece.

The characters are stereotypical. If they disagree with the politics of the writer, they are bad.

Bad guys are the like the bad guys in an old fashioned western movie.

A thriller without the thrills. Dialogue is rated 2/10 so the rest must be awful to drag it down to a 1/10 overall.

Why was this alleged "film" made? "Enemies Among Us" was filmed like you were watching a documentary (no disrespect meant to any documentaries). But there was no feel or emotion or decent flow to the film. The writing was horrid and forced. It was like the script was the first lame script someone ever wrote. And the escape scene was preposterous And the directing was missing in action.

Billy Zane, Robin Givens and Eric Robins are decent actors and should have been given the key roles. I don't understand why one of them didn't get the part of the governor. Instead they gave that part to a no name and part suffered for it.

I don't know what the budget for this was, but this had that low budget feel written all over every minute of this.

And I found that the best acting was when no one was talking. What does that tell you about the poor script? There was even an annoying buzz or whine during one of the non-torture prison scenes which didn't belong there. I assume it was either some feedback or really bad sound work.

My best advice is to read a book or watch something else.
