nothing else except childhood training scenes
saru202031 December 2021
The childhood training scenes are the only ones that are interesting & the foundation of the entire film and also the final twist was somewhat convincing enough, other than that, there was nothing notable. It was in fact a disappointment as it comes from a director who writes the fast screenplay. The 2 main characters being played by the prominent actors in one thing that lifts the movie, the heroine role just doesn't fit into the arena at all as usual like most of the Tamil films.

Don't Search For Logic
SanjayWayne5 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Movie opening was think you get something different but later it show some the same plot between hero and villan fight. The positives is arya who score a lot. The first half of movie was good and more speed screenplay. But in second it seems more slower and predictable story is makes audiences more boring. Overall the movie, one time watchable but as said don't search any logic just chill and watch.

Great potential - wasted opportunity
visuvenkykrish4 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This film got very good premise. Great acting by Vishal and Arya, excellent Cinematography and good action sequences. Decent background score by SAM C. S. Heroine'scharacter is too weak and she has nothing to do, Thaman's 3 songs are worst in his musical career

Chinese corporation is the main villain this story according to the backdrop which is unfinished. How can Vishal character take Prakash Raj's death reason so lite??? Etc. The Indian community people ain't got justice after the Gas leaks attack. Arya did great job but he isn't a psycho neither a normal mentality person.

This movie has the potential to be a THANI ORUVAN or HEAT , Face/off like thriller And it has its moments but it has problems too.

ANAND SHANKAR is a good filmmaker with good ideas but lacks finishing and detailing. Hope he comes with a banger next time.

Could have been better
EvanoOruvan14 December 2021
With an wonderful cast, the movie is okayish in many places and awesome in some places. Romantic portions seems forced. It wouldn't have made a difference without the love portions (except for the reason behind the "tum tum" song and engagement).

The concept behind the movie is interesting (though it has already been tried in different tamil movies in different forms, ex: Ullasam, En Swasa Kaatrae). If properly executed, this could have been a racy thriller but we were left with a mildly entertaining Enemy.

Last 20 mins spoils the whole movie ...
m-ramanan21 February 2022
RATED 6/10 Language: Tamil

One time watchable action drama. The idea and mind game is good but it was over done towards climax... Last 20 minutes cant bear the flow.... If they made it with bit more action and reduce the sentiment feud, it would be more entertaining one....

Climax copy from Dark knight
adi-nirmal6 January 2022
The movie is boring from the start and the last 30-45 mins is page to page copy from Dark knight movie.

Arya kidnapping 15 childern= joker hold hostages in 2 ships Arya giving the choice to kill Vishal father= Joker telling people on each ship to press the trigger Vishal and Arya climax fight and dialogue= Batman fights joker and make him fall Dialogues were also stolen from Dark knight

Pathetic copy cat movie shouldn't be encouraged.

Overall a decent action film, but could have been better
airjordanyk7 November 2021
I think Director Anand Shankar is one of the most promising directors of Tamil cinema. He always brings excellent stories to the table and tries to think out of the box which should be appreciated. Having said that, he has struggled with his overall execution mainly by adding unnecessary scenes that ruin the pace.

Just like NOTA, Enemy is unfortunately another victim to this drawback. The movie was really interesting with its plot, action sequences, performances by Vishal and Arya but is once again letdown by scenes that keep on dragging. The love angle for this film was not at all needed at all. There were also some cinematic liberties I felt that made for unrealistic plot devices.

Overall I think the movie was a unique interesting attempt at an action thriller but Shankar still needs to work on his overall direction to deliver with a crisp finished product. Had he smoothed out the edges and got rid of the unnecessary songs and love scenes, I think the film easily could have been another Thupaaki like movie.

Rating: 6/10.

Not even worth 1 star
prashanth-s-a3 December 2021
Most illogical movie I have ever watched!! Makes no sense at all, not sure what the director was smoking Don't waste you time, there are better ways to utilise your precious time.

Except fight sequences in slow motion remaining movie is entertaining if logics are left aside so that you can enjoy the movie.

Lengthy 😬😬😬
vibhus-177806 November 2021
Lengthy . Movie had good potential but , it failed to be good due to too many unwanted scenes . I really liked Vishal ( protagonist ) and Arya's ( antagonist ) performance , their characterisation in the movie was also well designed . Background music was great support to the movie , well composed by Sam CS . Execept " Tum Tum " other songs were average . Main drawback of the movie many unwanted sequence , romance part and some flash back part in 2nd half really spoiled the flow of movie . If you really want to enjoy this movie , you should remove your brain before watching it , too many plot holes and flaws . Some part of the story were just forced . Overall a average movie , a thriller movie that fails to be gripping .

Worst movie of 2021
anasabdulwahid4 December 2021
This movie is the worst Tamil movie of 2021, hope Singapore government will sue the producers and director of this movie, please don't waste time to watch this movie. They do mockery of the Singapore judiciary system, the worst story line.

Music and BGM
karthicksrv4 November 2021
Special credits to BGMs. Thaman and Sam rocking the screens and adds intense flavours to the storyline.

Climax too lengthy fights could have been reconsidered. Heroine portions not so defined / scripted. Thambi ramaiah as usual juatified his role as a supporting character role and adding humour to the thrier script.

A great plot but not well written
dhepaks6 November 2021
The plot of the film is so good. It starts with the childhood life of the two main characters. The childhood ego clashes were perfectly shown. But the writing could be even better, gripping. The romance sequences and songs are useless scenes. It delivers nothing. Cinematography and editing was well made and grippy. The climax action sequence was well made.

Best of visual and arya
dhevarajpurushothaman5 November 2021
It's an very good movie with some commercial elements but the first half was good and training scenes are very accurate. It slowing picked up when introducing arya. The action scenes were awesome Anand Shankar nailed it. And the bgm by Sam. C. S was outstanding.

But the second half was little bit lagging and the climax was a predictable climax. But it is a one time watchable movie.

Average .........
kharisha4 December 2021
Just a Hype, not excellent movie, just a one time watcher.

Vishal is good, Story also starts well, but does not carry the same weightage till end. Over all one time watch for Arya & Vishal fans.

Really Bad
jkjayakanth5 December 2021
The movie doesn't even take place in Singapore. It creates a bad impression of SG to the viewers whom watch it and it was filmed in Dubai completely. Made a mistake by watching it.

Average movie
shiyasathanikkal24 December 2021
The concept of their childhood were really interesting and this took the audience and first half was quiet okay..but major problem of this film is the ending...they could elaborate somemore thing and finish the film beautifully.. because of the rubbish ending value of movie gone down.

Good film,could have been better
dabbuddy8 November 2021
The first half was good but 2nd half was choppy and unwanted scenes were there too but climax was good.

The actors did a good job but the 2nd was the let down with the emotional scenes and all whoch were not appealing. Its better if they hsd avoided the revenge plot.
