The Enemy (1989)

Luke Perry keeps movie going...

Another film from the folks at City Heat Productions, the best DTV company ever. This one stars the very likable Luke Perry and the immensly pretty Olivia D'Abo. I think it was about bio-terrorists capturing Perry's father, but much of the plot didn't seem to matter. The action is surprisingly good for direct-to-video fare and the script thankfully strays away from getting too ludicrous. Fans of Perry and/or D'Abo or possibly Roger Moore will most likely enjoy this film. Those looking for a cool climactic shootout might also want to check out this film. There's much here to enjoy.

Hey it's much better than I thought.

"The Enemy" was surprisingly enjoyable to me. The cast was cool and the plot was good (dealing with a somewhat up-to-date terror of biochemical weapons). It was nice to find Horst Buchholz (The Magnificent Seven) still handsome after long years. Olivia d'Abo (Conan the Destroyer) undoubtedly put on some weight but remained a feast to the eyes (especially in the steaming albeit short love scene). Luke Perry was adorable and smart. Add up Roger Moore if you don't expect as much from him as in a James Bond thriller. This movie deserves 4 stars compared to several big budgeted thrillers that got people so hyped up first then disappointed later. December 2, 2001
