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
The crassness of this reactionary thriller is matched only by the ridiculousness of its premise.
The plan to make Enough into ‘an inspiring tale of survival wrapped in the heart-pounding suspense of a stylish psychological thriller’ has flopped as surely as a soufflé gone wrong.
The main problem with Enough isn't that it's old hat, it's the highly implausible, almost laughable screenplay.
Jennifer Lopez regresa a la pantalla a traernos una cinta que si bien es muy poco plausible, sí es altamente entretenida y como trhiller cumple su cometido.
...best understood as the next step in the great Jennifer Lopez marketing campaign
Despite a story that starts off convincingly, this movie turns into melodramatic, revenge-crazy Hollywood mush.
About the best you can say for it is that it's competently manipulative and not nearly as bad as some of the movies out there.
[A] slick, overproduced movie, as addictive as reality tv despite the fact that there isn't a shred of reality to be found anywhere.
Despite the holes in the story and the somewhat predictable plot, moments of the movie caused me to jump in my chair...
