Enemy

I think Director Anand Shankar is one of the most promising directors of Tamil cinema. He always brings excellent stories to the table and tries to think out of the box which should be appreciated. Having said that, he has struggled with his overall execution mainly by adding unnecessary scenes that ruin the pace.

Just like NOTA, Enemy is unfortunately another victim to this drawback. The movie was really interesting with its plot, action sequences, performances by Vishal and Arya but is once again letdown by scenes that keep on dragging. The love angle for this film was not at all needed at all. There were also some cinematic liberties I felt that made for unrealistic plot devices.

Overall I think the movie was a unique interesting attempt at an action thriller but Shankar still needs to work on his overall direction to deliver with a crisp finished product. Had he smoothed out the edges and got rid of the unnecessary songs and love scenes, I think the film easily could have been another Thupaaki like movie.

Rating: 6/10.

The childhood training scenes are the only ones that are interesting & the foundation of the entire film and also the final twist was somewhat convincing enough, other than that, there was nothing notable. It was in fact a disappointment as it comes from a director who writes the fast screenplay. The 2 main characters being played by the prominent actors in one thing that lifts the movie, the heroine role just doesn't fit into the arena at all as usual like most of the Tamil films.

RATED 6/10 Language: Tamil

One time watchable action drama. The idea and mind game is good but it was over done towards climax... Last 20 minutes cant bear the flow.... If they made it with bit more action and reduce the sentiment feud, it would be more entertaining one....

The concept of their childhood were really interesting and this took the audience and first half was quiet okay..but major problem of this film is the ending...they could elaborate somemore thing and finish the film beautifully.. because of the rubbish ending value of movie gone down.

With an wonderful cast, the movie is okayish in many places and awesome in some places. Romantic portions seems forced. It wouldn't have made a difference without the love portions (except for the reason behind the "tum tum" song and engagement).

The concept behind the movie is interesting (though it has already been tried in different tamil movies in different forms, ex: Ullasam, En Swasa Kaatrae). If properly executed, this could have been a racy thriller but we were left with a mildly entertaining Enemy.
