Alice could simply fire Bob, but then she would always wonder when and where he would act against her. He might stab her in the back at any moment.

Reviewed by Prismark10 4 / 10 Bad hair Van Damme I am rating "Enemie Closer" a definite 5 out of 10 stars given its predictability, generic and stereotypical definition of this particular genre and because it is, all in all, mindless entertainment. However, there is nothing innovating or inspiring to be seen here, and if you have seen a handful of action movies, then it is very likely you will not be amazed here. "Enemies Closer" is definitely worth a watch if you grew up watching Van Damme's movies, and it is nice to see him in a non-heroic role again (as in "Expendables 2"). It will not impress or make your jaws drop down in awe. As for the story and dialogue, well, let's just say it was there. And of course, you know the outcome of the movie right from the very beginning. The action scenes were nice enough, though hardly amongst the best of any Van Damme movies prior to this one. You know what you get when you sit down to watch this particular movie, so don't get your hopes up too high. ![]() I enjoyed the movie for what it was, an action movie that was predictable but still fun enough to watch. So is that a bad thing? Not in my opinion, so I will say hardly so. No need to participate or emerge yourself in anything just sit back, disconnect your brain and watch the action on the screen. The story in the movie is straight forward and requires absolutely nothing from the audience. Especially given the fact that he is actually playing the bad guy here, a ruthless killer who deals in drugs. Whereas previous it was him alone taking on countless numbers of bad guys and their goons, but "Enemies Closer" differs from that. "Enemies Closer" is not your typical Van Damme movie. Indeed his prime was back then, but he is still going strong and making enjoyable movies. Right, well having grown up watching all the action movies on the late 1980's and the 1990's, then the name Van Damme is not a stranger to me. ![]() ![]() Reviewed by paul_haakonsen 5 / 10 You know what you will get here at least.
