Enemy of My Enemy (1999)

Enemy of My Enemy: Directed by Gustavo Graef Marino. With Peter Weller, Daryl Hannah, Tom Berenger, Adrian Pintea. Terrorists take over the US embassy in Bucharest, executing one hostage every hour until a war criminal is released. Plus – 2 specialists are there trying to disarming a secret nuclear bomb.

“This political thriller has a pretty good, up-to-date story (Serbian terrorists seeking revenge after one of their leaders is kidnapped by US soldiers to stand trial in Hague); but the execution is strangely lifeless and dull. Tom Berenger had top billing on my video cassette cover, but he didnu0026#39;t appear until about half of the movie had passed, and even then he got less screen time than Welleru0026#39;s son, played by teenage heartthrob Jeremy Lelliott. There is one rather catchy plot twist near the end (I didnu0026#39;t see it coming, maybe someone more observant would have) involving Weller and Hannah; but it didnu0026#39;t save this movie from being quite mediocre. By all means, the action stunts, the explosions and the machine-gun-firing is impressive, but the story and (most of) the acting is not. So unless youu0026#39;re a die hard fan of either of the actors involved, you probably wonu0026#39;t be satisfied after watching this movie. Rating on a dice, Iu0026#39;ll probably give it a 3 (out of 6).”
