...CONCLUSION
On the whole enough is a thriller, which has everything going for it, a great storyline, brilliant acting and it is well directed.

Advantages: Jennifer Lopez get's hard Disadvantages: Typical...know what's gonna happen film!
I had mixed feelings about this film when I first purchased it. Mainly because it was another singer, turned actress fiasco. I was however, very suprised.
Basically, Jennifer Lopez marries a guy (who seems perfect in all ways) and has a daughter with him. Then, one day in a heated moment he hits her. One thing leads to another and he threatens to kill her and their daughter. Jennifer manages to slip away and start a new life (alot like sleeping ... ...daughter, hoping that he wont find her. But he does, through the help of one of his friends. He tracks her down.
It all ends up with Jennifer getting hard, working out and preparing to kill in self defence....it's either him....or her!
Won't spoil the ending, but it's good. The only problem with the film are the similarities between other films that have been and gone. Jennifer however is great, and it has led me to purchase other films with her ...

Advantages: J-lo looking good and kicking butt Disadvantages: not really for the guys
...do this as I didn't have enough time and I think it would have been a little tedious to sit through the whole film again. There is also behind the scenes footage which is quite interesting to watch.
All in all a great package!
One worth watching! ...

Advantages: Fine acting, good special effects Disadvantages: Lack of DVD special features
...th century England and the clothes and set look suitably accurate but a lot of imagination as been used in creating the costumes for the more exotic lands. I felt that the sequences in the floating Islands in the sky were particularly outstanding from this viewpoint.
Without going into much more detail about the film itself I can say that it was both visually and dramatically impressive. But what about the DVD?
THE DVD
As I mentioned before this was originally screened as two one and half hour parts of a TV mini Series so the DVD version last a fairly long 3 hours.
Technically the DVD is standard enough boasting an anamorphically enhanced widescreen format. The picture quality is very good the colours crisp and bright. The sound again is adequate being
5.1 Digital Dolby surround that achieves good clarity throughout...

Advantages: There will be no pop quiz about this movie. High IQ not required. Disadvantages: It's a dumb action film with Seagal.
...'s slightly better than you probably think it is, but you would still be better off satisfying your macho movie 'jones' by watching some action movies from Hong Kong (directed by Johnny To, Ringo Lam, Tsui Hark or John Woo to start with), but hey, this one is in English. (uh American anyway...).
Oh and by the way, you won't have to wait too long to catch Seagal again. He's showing up in a direct to video film called Ticker,(which will be out around November 13, 2001). It stars Tom Sizemore, NAS, Jaime Pressly, Chilli, Dennis Hopper and Seagal. (Ticker was screened in April and designated enough of a failure to qualify as a direct to video release).
DVD STUFF
Overal the 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer looks very good. The film has lots of nigh scenes and the black levels are strong and shadow details pretty good. There's some...

Advantages: its Superman on DVD! Disadvantages: those damn snapper cases
...the music say the word “Superman”!!! or that they didn’t use a big fan to make his cape flap in the wind small radio controlled wires were used to make the cape move in the “wind”! wow
If you buy Superman The Movie on its own then you get the usual Warner Bros snapper case but if you decide to get it in the special edition box set with Superman II then you do still get the snapper cases but you get an extra very cool sleek black sleeve which looks very cool
The Movie is presented in 2.35:1 widescreen, which is suitable for all TV screens. The picture and sound quality is second to none and there are enough extras to keep you entertained for ages.
And the movie will keep you watching for years to come!
5/5 “Super!!”...
