Intimate Enemies (2007)

Posted on 01:32 by john cena
Best Avoided
France
Feature Film

Original Title: L’ennemi intime
Director: Florent Emilio Siri
Writers: Florent Emilio Siri, Patrick Rotman
Cinematographer: Giovanni Fiore Coltellacci
Composer: Alexandre Desplat
Cast: Benoit Magimel, Albert Dupontel, Aurelien Recoing, Mohamed Fellag, Abdelhafid Metalsi, Eric Savin, Marc Barbe, Vincent Rottiers, Lounes Tazairt, Fellag

Following the experiences of a French Platoon during the Algerian War, this cliché-ridden, generic effort is, despite the occasional powerful moment, with its Hollywood-like swelling score, predictable character developments, and general lack of credibility, a very missable and easily forgotten experience.
