JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

wsreditorialboard I felt really tense while watching the movie and it really portrayed the importance of a healthy relationship. People who are fond of a "come-back" films will really enjoy this one. And most of the married couples might relate to this movie.I felt thrilled at first on what will happen but while watching it i just realized that it really is fun . Some woman would really relate to it and maybe be encouraged because the story tells on how strong a woman is. How powerful a mothers love . Mostly married couple would love this and maybe learn from this.

marsmitchell79 If a smaller woman wants to beat a man in a combat fight, that's how you write it and how you do it! You don't just show up and he's beaten; that would make it completely unrealistic! What's so hard to believe: 1. An abusive husband that confines his wife, but does what he wants! That happens sometimes as it does in the movie: from first major argument on, a physically abusive man might decide to lay down his ground rules right then and there! 2. Slim(J Lo) had self defense training and anyone can get that(esp. against a coward who really can't fight). I LOVED THE PART WHEN SHE PUTS RINGS AND STEELTOE BOOTS ON TO SHOW THAT SHE WAS NOT FIGHTING AN EQUAL IN THE PHYSICAL DEPARTMENT! THIS IS JUST COMMON SENSE AND, YET, SOME B-MOVIES SHOW A WOMAN KICKING/ PUNCHING A MAN AS IF HE WAS A WOMAN! THIS MOVIE DOES NOT MAKE THIS HUGE MISTAKE! ALSO, THERE IS REASON FOR HER TO ENGAGE MITCH IN A FIGHT, SINCE SHE CANNOT BEAT HIM IN A COURT OF LAW AND GRACE'S CUSTODY CASE IS COMING UP!3. Mitch(abusive husband) had connections that rich men probably do! Even if a rich man is not crooked, he has connections and finds people who love being his friend. If he is crooked, he can find the kinds of friends he needs(BECAUSE THERE IS LITTLE RISK TO HIM). He talks in code speak and--even if a mostly petty criminal(like Mitch)--he is probably not going to do any time to make him stop. If a rich man is crooked, then both he has people that love finding or feel they "HAVE" to find criminal employment and there is little risk(SINCE HE WOULD DO RARE SERIOUS CRIMES WITH THOSE--AS IN THE MOVIE--WITH THOSE THAT HE HAD SOMETHING SERIOUS ON AND, THE OTHER STUFF, HE COULD ALSO DO WITH THOSE SAME PEOPLE OR OTHERS: AND IF CAUGHT IN THE SMALL TIME STUFF, HE DOES NO TIME WORTHY OF NOTE). Again, very realistic! 4. She had escape plans and routes--as every person on the run should!5. As smart and/or wise as she is(or through her dad's connections), she can definitely learn about the simple technologies, etc. of the day that could allow her to do what she did in the movie to keep Mitch from getting help.Negatives: 1. Slim has access to too many connections: Her father has connections that rival Mitch--if not surpass or circumnavigate Mitch's connections completely! Slim got "around" even before Mitch--having an ex in Seattle without explanation and she lives someplace else. Both happening to the same poor person creates instances of coincidence in a movie where she's on the run; this is bad for this movie. They could have had J Lo researching to find someone that was well studied in fighting techniques and stealing from Mitch or his mother to get money. 2. When she is on the run, there is a lull in activity there!

RHL Don't care what the 'critics' think... this is a great film and a great story! The drama portrays a woman who has obviously had a troubled past but then she's in a comfortable place until she meets her perfect man. Her life is transformed and she's happy....end of story. No; just the beginning! Treachery strikes and chaos, fear and the will to survive ensues. Despite her and her friends best intentions she's driven to a desperate place in order to ensure she and her (gorgeous) daughter survive. Herald the transformation.A gripping film with moments of fear, desolation and warmth...so very well worth watching!

clarerodriguez21 Clarissa Rodriguez Movie Review 9 November 2012 "Self Defense is not Murder""Punch, kick, slap!" Not exactly what any mother or wife has in mind when marrying the man that's supposed to be the man of her dreams. The movie Enough I must say is one of my all-time favorite movies ever made. Jennifer Lopez plays a woman named Slim who gets married to a man, Mitchell, who she thinks is the one. After birthing their child Gracey, Mitchell begins to have affairs. Not liking the situation she is in once she finds out about the affairs she confronts her husband which leads to a brutal beating. She then finds the courage to leave after consulting her best friend Ginny, and then it becomes a massive task for Slim to keep her daughter and herself out of harm's way. She then comes up with a brilliant plan to get Mitchell alone after training with a defense teacher. He won't give up on getting his daughter back and also won't give up on trying to get Slim back so she ends up killing Mitchell for the sake of her life and the life of her off spring. This movie reaches out to all women in my opinion. It lets you know that it isn't OK to harm woman. It also in some sort shows that woman have a right to leave the relationship if it ever becomes too toxic for the wife or the child involved.This movie connects with the world in ways that make me admire the movie even more. It is not morally correct to cheat and beat your spouse after they have given you everything. I loved the characters in the movie. Joe was one of my favorites. He played as the ex-boyfriend of slims who was still in love with her. Joe is an example of the moral man in this world. He helped slim and her daughter as much as he could. That's what a real man should do, he most definitely shouldn't hit you much less be disloyal to you. Yes, Mitchell had money so if he was sent to jail he would automatically get bailed out. Ladies don't let money be the prime factor that scares you into staying with the man that beats you, just because he is rich doesn't justify violence.I enjoyed the end the most when she plotted against her soon to be ex-husband. She broke into his house and found his weapons then put letters in his drawer to indicate she was coming to talk about custody over Gracey. They day he came home she was waiting for him and she planned that he would attack her and she would defensively fight back and kill him. In my opinion the training she got was impeccable. The techniques that were taught to her saved her life and ended the pro-longed nightmare coming up ahead of her due to the fact they had a custody hearing. I also liked how the movie appealed to the emotions of slim having her father leave her and then later on in the movie he ends up helping her get through this because of how much he was not in her life to begin with. In real life situations outside of a movie people always have others that will help you. This moment lets women know it is OK to confide in loved and even friends like Jenny and Phil. A little message to the men out there who find it OK to hit women why don't you watch this movie and get the hint.
