May be the worst movie I have ever seen. Plot, Acting, Dialogue - all completely awful.

If you feel like hating life for 1hr 15min just watch it.

Wow - how does stuff like this get made? And why did I watch it? The story is just painful. Half the movie takes place in a campaign fund-raising scene. Seriously they couldn't afford more extras? And the characters in that scene are just too painful. There are some wacky subplots that just go nowhere.

The acting is almost comical and feels like a high school acting project or something. wow.

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....

Oh dear, very few films have made me stop watching before they're finished. This film made me stop watching it before it had really started!

The acting is like something you might see on a Soap Opera or Sci-Fi channel movie. The fake accents are awful. Not one character in the film made me believe they weren't just reading lines from a script.

20 Minutes in I decided that I couldn't take anymore of this tripe so turned it off. Looking at the other reviews of this 'movie' it appears I saved myself from wasting time.

I didn't even get to see Billy Zane much, then again how many good movies has he been in???

The trailer made it look watchable but it's not!!!

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.

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 have to agree with the other posters. Watching this movie is one of the worst experiences of my life. The plot goes nowhere, the acting can't be taken seriously, the dialog is ridiculous, the humor is not funny and the action scenes are lame. It feels so long and it runs only 70 minutes. How can someone be proud and put his name on the screen as writer, producer and director for that ? Even Billy Zane and Eric Roberts who made bad movies should be ashamed for doing this one. I hope that people who keep bashing Uwe Boll take a look at this one. They'll know what a really bad movie looks like. That is terrible and I hope the director will stop doing movies and choose to work in another field.

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.

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.

The film is an abortion on screen. OMG who wrote this piece of ***t? I have seen these actors in other works and I know that they can act. What happened?

The script contains every overused slang phrase of modern speech. The actors deliver lines like they are in a high school play. The worst performance by someone playing a female investigative journalist (she must be sleeping with the producer)I ever seen on screen.

Better yet, how did this ever get released? I saw this when I was looking for something to watch on cable that I had not already seen 10xs. I saw the cast Billy Zane--always good--Eric Roberts--always good. Not a chance this time and for god's sake what happened to Steve Bauer? I hope they did it for the money and the money was good.

amazing.

When I see people nit-picking Dan Garcia's movies for obvious military blunders( this movie and Garcia's "Flesh Wounds" with Kevin Sorbo) I laugh out loud. The reason Garcia doesn't "consult" the DOD or any other military adviser is because he doesn't care about authenticity, continuity, or quality(Journey to Promethea). He's a convicted drug dealer (google "Kane and Abel prison") who has been churning out these Louisiana made crappers for years. He rakes in state incentives that post-Katrina Louisiana has been shelling out to attract the movie industry and selling these clunkers on DVD and to foreign markets(I saw his Terror Trap on HBO in China!). If you see Garcia Productions attached to any "film" you will be guaranteed to see lots of bad acting, worse direction, and yes, military people with their hands over their hearts instead of saluting old' Glory.

If it were possible to give this movie a sub-zero rating I would do it. Never in my life have I seen anything this bad. Calling it awful is an insult to any other movie called awful. It is unbelievably rotten. from start to finish. I just don't think there are words bad enough to adequately describe the story and the acting. At first, I thought it must be a parody because I couldn't believe any actor would associate their name with this movie unless it was intended to be funny. I even looked on the internet to see if it was a spoof but, alas, I learned that it was supposed to be a thriller. That's sad. Billy Zane and Eric Roberts should apologize to movie fans everywhere. I understand that political thrillers can often be unrealistic with crazy plot twists and that they require suspension of disbelief. In this case, yes I am in disbelief that this movie was ever made.

While yes it is corny, a little predictable (find me a movie that isn't these days) but all in all, I loved it. Robin Givens is a great actress and plays an agent in charge of extracting information the old fashion way in order to save the Governor. With a hot assassin, and the scrumptious Billy Zane, you cant go past it. Awesome explosions, though its not The Expendables so it shouldn't be compared to films like that. Independent films are too often knocked and not given a chance which is a real shame. Watch it from outside the box.... That is if your not too closed minded... I don't care what everyone else says.... I LOVED IT!!! (Corny movies are great when you want to relax and not think after a hard days work!)

By and of itself, "Enemies Among Us" is a sprightly and, within its boundaries, tense film. It deals quite adroitly with the issues of international terrorism, political maneuvering, and American political complicity in international nefariousness. Yet the reason to savor it, the cause to exult in it is, as usual, Robin Givens. Although she is not in any sense the star of the picture--indeed, she really and truly doesn't have that many scenes--her role as government interrogator and former cop's wife Gloria genuinely stands out through her free-flowing sexiness, her sizzling intelligence, and her crisp authoritativeness. When she's leading the questioning of her and her colleagues' international soldier/prisoner, her smooth forcefulness and her graceful sex appeal have us riveted to her. When she's on the phone dealing with her uniformed cop ex (Eric Roberts), her sass and her spirit put us immediately on her side. And when she orders that said soldier/prisoner be "terminated"--translation: killed--after five minutes, her beauty and her suavity prevent us from being repulsed. The lady herself has asserted, concerning the quality she seeks in a mate: "I want someone who can handle me. And I'm not the easiest person to handle." Robin Givens's performance in "Enemies Among Us" puts us in a mood to gladly want to attempt to handle her--and to be fully excited regarding the challenge.
