Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

gsh999 I haven't seen many Greek movies but I've been impressed with a couple of recent movies from the cradle of civilization, including The Enemy Within. This is an action movie as well as a family drama. A fairly well-to-do family in modern Athens is victimized by a gang of criminals and the father's response to the crime is the great dilemma of the movie. The acting is very good and the musical score is exceptional and fitting for the film. The movie is a morality play like the dramas of the ancient Greeks. I enjoy foreign films because it's like traveling on the cheap, and this film gives us a look at downtown Athens, as well as some beautiful country in the Greek mountains. Good movie and rightfully received some awards.

Regina Zervou Few films have managed to treat a controversial social issue and let prevail ethic at the same time as this, as this largely neglected film has done. Touching the problem of immigrants in 21st century Greece (right before the oncoming giant flew of refugees that marked our country and our hearts in 2015), their unstable position in the society, the insecurity they may cause n some parts of the population and different reactions, it goes far beyond reaching to biblical ethic questions. Should we take revenge the old Testament style, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth? And if so, what are the consequences? Can one man stand on foot on his own after that? And what about the ones he loves, is he able to protect them?The way out is forgiveness. It comes in a stunning way and liberates the hero, while dazzling him at the same time.The enemy within is beaten by mutual forgiveness, compassion and solidarity towards the real enemy. The rest to be seen...
