Enemy (2013)

I can't get Enemy's peculiar, fevered mood, or the memory of that wackadoo last image, out of my head.

A spooky enigma, more ponderous than provocative, more silly than suspenseful.

Despite some flaws and frustrations, this is one movie whose ending you will not see coming.

Enemy is a bewilderingly skillful metaphysical thriller combining Swiss-watch engineering and surrealism, like one of Dali's melted timepieces.

Movies about doubles are, almost by definition, creepy, but Villeneuve, not to be outdone, piles on the weirdness.

"Enemy" is what might happen if someone let Terrence Malick make a "Twilight Zone" episode, with a quick rewrite by David Cronenberg.

Featuring a tremendous performance by Jake Gyllenhaal and bold direction from Denis Villeneuve, Enemy is a masterfully crafted film with a tricky but very fulfilling premise.

Gyllenhaal embodies both men with care, building distinct characters that no amount of physical similarity can prevent discerning who is who.

For those who enjoy a different kind of cinema, this is not to be missed.

From the opening shot of Enemy, you are trained to expect something out of the ordinary.

Rewarding for those who enjoy the menace and mystery that accompanies the cinema of the mind.
