They marry and have a child, but Slim's happiness is soon lost when she discovers that her husband has a mistress. When confronted, Mitch becomes abusive and proceeds to lay down controlling laws for Slim. As the abuse grows worse, Slim realizes that fleeing is her only path to freedom. Mitch's determination becomes evident as he tracks Slim down, terrorizes her, and uses the legal system to his advantage, scheduling a custody hearing. Realizing that flight and the law are not her strongest allies, Slim takes intensive combat classes, preparing to meet Mitch one last time, intending to kill him in apparent self defense. ENOUGH wisely spins typical gender roles beyond the training of its protagonist. Slim is aided by a sensitive male admirer (Dan Futterman), who has stamina problems, and her daughter Grace (Tessa Allen), who has admirable basketball skills. When it comes time for the climactic last battle, ENOUGH doesn't get bogged down with politics, sexual or otherwise. Instead, it gleefully delivers an elaborate, bloody, final brawl. [More]

Reviews for Enough
It's one of those pictures where all the characters are idiots and the plot would be resolved in five minutes if any of them had half a brain.
Enough is not a bad movie, just mediocre. The performances are so overstated, the effect comes off as self-parody.
...best understood as the next step in the great Jennifer Lopez marketing campaign
A glossy female fantasy about losing it all and throwing it right back atcha.
The crassness of this reactionary thriller is matched only by the ridiculousness of its premise.
Shamelessly exploits the horror of domestic violence for melodramatic, cheap thrills.
The contrivances ... are simply too preposterous and laborious to sit through.
This is the kind of movie where people who have never picked a lock do so easily after a few tries and become expert fighters after a few weeks.
Despite a story that starts off convincingly, this movie turns into melodramatic, revenge-crazy Hollywood mush.
Só há uma coisa pior do que a inexpressividade de Lopez, a direção-para-tevê de Apted e o roteiro absurdo de Kazan: a conclusão moralmente corrompida da história.
