Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
lukem-52760 Enemy territory is a fantastic 80s urban Thriller i love this film, this has that exciting & creepy atmosphere & tone like Assault on precinct 13 (1976) & alot of that 80s punk gangs feel that you get in the Death wish films & many others.This little survival film is about a really bad neighbourhood somewhere in new York City that has a really run down tenement building that is the dark hunting ground of a gang of black thugs called the Vampires who have a crazy leader played by the Awesome TONY TODD!!! & on a late Friday evening i believe or Saturday evening? Anyway IT'S getting late & nearly dark & an insurance salesman played really well by GARY FRANK has to go into the building to make a quick sale-a quick signing & back out but things go very wrong & very serious & he ends up trapped in the big scary building with the Vampires gang hunting him. A great little B-movie fun & exciting Thriller with a vety gritty look & creepy high rise building & it works perfectly with tense scenes & some other cool characters who happen to be in the building or live there such as will (RAY PARKER JR ) who is a good guy & wants to help get Barry out of the building alive!!! Also small roles for other characters like JAN MICHAEL VINCENT'S ex Vietnam nut who loves guns & STACEY DASH (Clueless) who also wants to help. ENEMY TERRITORY is great exciting fun with an AWESOME cast & an AWESOME location to for an urban survival Thriller to be set in. This is my DIE HARD set in a big building & came out a year before!!! This is better & more fun.
merklekranz A nice assortment of characters, are terrorized by a gang called the "Vampires", while desperately trying to escape from a "project" high rise. The strength of this film is having very sympathetic heroes, Gary Frank, and Ray Parker Jr., interacting with likable tenants, including Jan Michael Vincent playing a whacked Vietnam Vet. The "Vampire"gang are all generic, unmemorable, minority thugs, with the notable exception of "The Count". The movie is both claustrophobic, and a real stretch of realism, but is nevertheless entertaining. Considering the limited budget, "Enemy Territory" is a surprisingly good film..... - MERK
woolleysheep2000 Though made in 1987, 'Enemy Territory' most resembles a drive-in exploitation movie from the seventies. Silly script, over-acting by all concerned, non-stop action and a dated 'urban' soundtrack all mean one thing - FUN!!! I've seen this countless times now, but enjoy it at every viewing. Pretty hard to find (and still no DVD release) but worth it for those seeking a 'drive-in' fix......8/10
blackxmas You really don't see a movie like this for the performances. It's all for the action. Yes this movie is somewhat racist, but it also says a lot about life along the way, how we treat people according to race and environment, how we view that 'Nam-rattled vet in a wheelchair down the hall who resembles a drugged out Jan-Michael Vincent. Seriously, this film could've been a minor classic with a stronger cast, sort of one of those uncompromising horror epics as LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and HILLS HAVE EYES. Why, if Wes Craven had made this instead of HILLS HAVE EYES 2, DEADLY FRIEND, SHOCKER, PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, and VAMPIRE IN BROOKLYN, he wouldn't have had to wait 12 years between the original NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST and SCREAM to once again be heralded a genius of the thinking man's horror cinema. A person with his wit, intelligence and genuine talent behind the camera could've made this one something that transcended the action/horror/ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13-type genre. As it stands though, it's a decent night out in exploitation cinema as long as you give the themes some good thought afterwards.
