to your wish list?
Storyline:
Adam Bell is a Toronto area History college professor. He is a rather somber man, largely because he is stuck in a routine, which includes a relationship with his live-in girlfriend, Mary. While watching a rental movie, he spots an actor in a bit part that looks like him. He becomes obsessed with finding out about this double of his. He learns that the actor's stage name is Daniel Saint Claire, whose legal name is Anthony Claire. Claire is a Toronto based actor with only a few on-screen credits, and is married to a woman named Helen who is currently several months pregnant. Adam then becomes obsessed with meeting Claire, who he learns upon first sighting that they look exactly the same, from the facial hair to a scar each has, but Claire who outwardly is more "put together" than Adam. Their lives become intertwined as Claire himself ends up becoming obsessed with Adam, but in a slightly different way.

Go because the concept is interesting, the acting is great, the tension is awesome, and the enigma of whole film is worthwhile. Still, don't expect a resolution and be prepared to just enjoy the tension for what it is.

lacking credibility and an overbearing tone of ominous totally unjustified by the facts of the plot. Boring and draggy. Kept waiting for the twist that would justify it, but that never came.

We and several people, having given this movie plenty of time to get to some sort of point, finally walked out. A few others were literally put to sleep. Fine cast completely squandering their talent and reputations on this piece of drek DO NOT PARDON THIS TURKEY.

Weird, bizarre, twisted, confusing and dragging are some of the characteristics would use to sum up Enemy. Interesting plot point, what would happen if you one day, met an exact duplicate of yourself, but the storyline gets all convoluted. Is this a scifi pic with glimpses of aliens who look like giant spiders or some weird dream the main lead is experiencing. Unfortunately, Enemy delivers none of the punch of the trailer and for almost 30-40m we wonder aimlessly waiting for something to happen. And then when it does, we're left with all these unanswered questions. Great acting by Jake Gyllenhaal, but wished we'd save the ticket price on this one and waited to see it free on cable.

Thought provoking--we are still considering what exactly happened; but that's what made it a good movie. In addition to the performances and the design, which were really good.
