Know Your Enemy is a fantastic drama triggered by a road rage incident. The story is very well written, and keeps the viewer's attention throughout the entire runtime. The twists and turns will make you think and it will challenge you. I really liked the use of flashback. The camerawork is smooth and stylish. Great direction also. And of course, the actors give understated, powerful performances. Check it out!
The film started off with me thinking this is a sort of cliche hostage type thriller, using race related stereotypes. However, I was then dragged into the story of the main characters, who's acting is simply magnificent.
We are almost the entire film in one location. The confined space helps to even drag us further into the lives of the protagonists. Slowly their story enfolds, cultural clashes intensify the conflict. I won't go any further, otherwise I'd spoil it :) But I think this is definitely worth watching!

This film gets deep and gritty. The premise of a middle eastern man cut off in traffic and following the Caucasians home to confront them is just the beginning of a telling unraveling of intricacies that make up the plot points of this well produced filmed indie. I was very impressed with how the director prevented the basically one location story not to get dull or boring but keeps the viewer engaged the whole way through. With even a surprise twist of sorts. Well done to all cast and crew. Give it a watch and see indie filmmaking at it's finest.
One of the Prime+IMDB suckers who believed in high score this movie got (6.2 at the time this review was generated). I don't share a dislike some viewers expressed after watching only 15 minutes of it. This is a useful exercise covering a relevant topic. Acting was adequate, and I'd say the lead actor was even better than that. Everything else was static, completely dialog driven, with modest development as the film progressed. All in all, quite a fair movie, with the impression utterly spoiled by fake reviews and upvoting. Had the people in charge of this gave the movie a chance to live on its own in the movie world and fare what it deserves, the score would be higher. But they didn't, thus, from me only 2/10.
I'm a big skeptic when it comes to the indie productions and have a tendency to look for the faults. I was in for quite a surprise how well this film is done. A big applause goes to the script writer. The story is everything in a film and here I was in for few twists I didn't expect. This film has only 3 characters and they are all just talking. On top of that, there's no music. A lot of films would go down the boredom lane with this setup after first 15 minutes but this one keeps you interested to the end.
Nice work!
