After a major shipment of drugs goes missing on the US-Canadian border, forest ranger and former Navy SEAL Henry is plunged into survival mode when the drug cartel forces him to help retrieve the downed package. Trapped in the wilderness with no communication to the outside world, Henry finds himself face to face with Clay, a man with a personal vendetta against Henry who has returned for retribution. Now, the two mortal enemies must make a choice: put aside their past and work together, or die alone at the hands of the drug runners, a ruthless gang who will stop at nothing to retrieve their lost cargo.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
RoboRabbit89 When I first seen the trailer to this in 2014 I was like, this is great I want to see this and I was not disappointed.Let me start by saying that Van Damme is back. His performance was good as the main villain I've been a fan of his for years and seeing him be a sort of corky bad guy was really fun.Now as far as Universal Soldier, the two new ones, I hated. Those films to me ruined that franchise but more on that for another review.Van Damme is some type of drug trafficker who loses his dope and gathers some henchmen to find it, but runs into trouble as he faces off against a Park ranger. I don't want to get into spoilers here but it's cool.The action scenes were excellent and the twists were unexpected Orlando Jones who I remember from Mad TV is in this and with out spoiling anything he was great too.Overall I liked it very much, director Peter Hymns is a good director way better than his immature son John Hymns, thanks for ruining universal Soldier.
Floated2 Jean-Claude Van Damme, plays Xander a French-Canadian drug leader and landfill environmentalist. Supporting actor Orlando Jones (Clay) play his part well, as a mysterious lost hiker who found his way to the lake, while co-lead Tom Everett Scott (as Henry, the park ranger) is undoubtedly the weakest link in the film. The audience is clearly intended to root for his character, but his acting weighs the overall film, and the character is rather bland and isn't given much to do. Enemies Closer is a solid action film filled with decent amounts of action scenes such as one-note fight scenes, and gun shootout. The film works well since the film has a quick pace and doesn't stall or waste time compared to many action films we see today. It is only 85 minutes long (80 minutes minus the end credits) which is beneficial.
Fluke_Skywalker This straight-to-DVD Jean-Claude Van Damme action flick is distinguished by a "name" director (Peter Hyams; '2010', and JCVD flicks 'Timecop' and 'Sudden Death') and somewhat recognizable B-list faces in Tom Everett Scott and Orlando Jones. I don't know that they make the film any better, but they certainly give it a sheen of credibility so often lacking in these affairs.But the real star here is Van Damme. Years of hard living has left the once matinée idol looking like a hobo with a gym membership, but he brings a quirky energy to his rare villain role.'Enemies Closer' is an efficient, moderately entertaining little action movie, and a good step or two above the usual straight to video trash flooding the bargain bin at your local Wal-Mart.
Wizard-8 Though Jean-Claude Van Damme's name is the one that's prominent on the Blu-Ray case, here he doesn't play the hero - he actually plays the villain. And he seems to be having a great time playing a flamboyant villain, from his goofy hairstyle to some jokey dialogue. It's a nice change of pace. From that, you might wonder if the movie forgets to deliver the action, but fortunately it doesn't. There are some good fight sequences here, real bone crunching yet also choreographed in a way that makes them slightly more convincing than usual. The movie is not perfect. I could live with a story that seems at times inspired by "Cliffhanger", and with a villain dispatched that seems cribbed from "Die Hard 2". But I did think that Tom Everett Scott as the hero seemed kind of bland and without charisma outside of his fight sequences. The ending of the movie seems kind of abrupt. The credits state that some additional filming was done in Louisiana (the rest in Bulgaria), suggesting there were some problems during the shoot. Though the biggest issue I had was with the movie suggesting that Canadian police officers (also known as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police) still wear red uniforms and ride horses. OH COME ON! Are there really some people who think Canada, with one of the strongest economies in the world, is behind the times when it comes to law enforcement? Well, judging from this movie, apparently there are.
