254. Enemy (2013)

June 1, 2014

Enemy was a very cool movie. I really enjoyed it. Jake Gyllenhaal played two roles - a college professor and an actor. Even though both roles were supposed to be the same person with a split personality disorder, I still prefer to believe he was playing two separate people who were virtually identical. As the college professor, he was quiet and shy and he lived with his girlfriend. When a co-worker suggested a local film for him to watch and he noticed someone in the film who looked identical to himself, he started trying to find out who that person was. He found the guy - an actor with a pregnant wife - and tried to contact him. When they finally met they sort of swapped lives, with very strange consequences. It moved a little slow, but I thought it was excellent.
