Stop hating on J.Lopez

She is a dependable actress. It seems that because she's a "triple threat" people don't take her seriously. When women like Ginger Rogers can master each talent she was pra

Unfortunately Enough is a very flawed movie. Lopez is superb in the lead role, but the film is a confused mix of social drama and action movie met with a touch of exploitation. Much of Enough is very good, especially the action sequences and the use of title cards in a set up that needed to reveal a bit more of the husband's character before turning him into a single-minded villain. However, this episodic structure is to the film's advantage, although it's quite unusual here. Furthermore, some of the best aspects of the movie are found in Slim's resolve to look after her daughter and remain alert. Whilst Lopez is very convincing with regards to the training sequences and the ultimate showdown. There's also real poignancy in the final shot of her sitting alone when the police arrive. I like Enough, although it's not one of my favourite Jennifer Lopez vehicles, but I've seen similar movie's that lack the forceful nature of this film's narrative and a leading actress who convinces as being receptive, wounded, protective and forceful. But the overarching conceit of the movie needed better writing and further development of characters whom we need a leap of faith to really believe in who they are. Especially the husband, whose turn is so contrived that he becomes nothing more than a plot device whose voice even changes to suit his new found persona. This aspect of the movie is badly contrived, whilst other scenarios involving his mother and the closed doors Slim encounters are only puzzling -- the lawyer's advice, for example. I guess the big payoff is whether one believes in the climax or relishes the husband getting what he deserves. In essence, though, we're in Straw Dogs or I Spit on Your Grave territory here, and those are the kind of films Enough doesn't want to be like, but ultimately becomes.

I think she's a very good actress, but I agree with some of your points here. Still, it's good to see Angel Eyes getting some love. That's a gem of a movie. Lopez is just as good in An Unfinished Life and has better material regarding a woman fleeing from an abusive partner in that movie.
