Deep within a forest on the U.S.-Canadian border, two sworn enemies must work together to escape a ruthless drug cartel hell-bent on retrieving a drug shipment which went missing there. Jean Claude Van Damme gives one of his most insane perfomances in 'Enemies Closer' and believe me i mean that in a good way. He is pretty crazy and that scene where he killed all those guards is easily the highlight of the movie. If you loved him as the bad guy in 'The Expendables 2'? You're going to love him even more in this film plus Peter Hyams knows how to do action. (A+)

Henry (Tom Everett Scott) is a park ranger on King's Island off the coast of Maine. He is being threatened by Clay (Orlando Jones) the brother of a man killed under Henry's command back in... Clay blames Henry and wants revenge/justice. Meanwhile Xander (Jean-Claude Van Damme) a cheese eating vegan drug dealer is looking for a shipment of heroin that was dropped in the bay near the shore of the island. Clay and Henry are forced to team together etc. etc.This was a very predictable, badly scripted, poor dialouge film. The title is from the expression, "you keep your friends close and enemies closer" or in this case there are no friends just one enemy closer than the other enemies. Van Damme has an early fight scene, but his close-ups after that include eating fruits and berries.Not even worth viewing. Better action films out there.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

I am so delighted to have seen this corny, lousy but enjoyable grade Z movie. It is forbidden to watch it in another way, period. So, don't see it with the same eyes you could have for a Marty Scorcese's movie. Please. The most interesting for me is of course JCVD performance, because he has here the bad guy character, and he is shown, he fights as if he was the good one. The true heroes of this feature are nearly transparent, and the film focuses on JCVD the heavy dude. Don't you find this interesting and so unusual? He has here a weird and totally f...up guy, a killer fond of nature and ecology. A killer who is, I repeat, shown as if he was the hero. So, you see, a film can be damn bad but also be interesting. Pure enjoyable time waster.And, one more thing, another Die Hard scheme, not the most famous although.

I got sucked into this movie just because I'll watch almost any Tom Everett Scott movie. Tom is a former Navy Seal but he may be the third or fourth best fighter in this movie (the Seals may have something to say on that). I wasn't familiar with Orlando Jones but he is one scary dude at the start of this, I thought he played his role effectively. So as park ranger at Kings Island Tom gets simultaneously confronted by Jones for personal reasons and Van Damme seeking out sunken drugs. Elements of this seem like they've been done a thousand times before and I don't like the way in which Van Damme hurts/kills people. I don't know who gets into that aspect of Van Damme, but I know I won't watch it. I also thought some of Scott's dialogue was lame. But Jones and Von Damme were intriguing along with attractive Cocker as the love interest so I'm settling on a 7, at least I made it all the way through.
