Watch The Enemy Within For Free

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The mid-1990s were HBO's heyday as Clintonesque liberals and they took it upon themselves to present this sort of viewpoint in nearly all of their productions. This one is no exception.It's saved by the fact that it's a tremendously literate story from the great screenwriter Rod Serling, and it has Forrest Whitaker in top form. The typical HBO heavy-handed preachiness is kept to a minimum here and the intrigue is maximized, of course with some rather tough to fathom plot maneuvers concerning the Soviets, in this case as allies of a sort.It's not as fine a film as the original Seven Days in May, but it's not a waste either and it's always good to see Whitaker in his usual good form with Sam Waterston doing more subtly nuanced acting than he's allowed to do on Law & Order.

The Enemy Within is a well-done remake of one of my favorite films Seven Days In May. While of course not as good as the 1964 classic this film still packs quite a punch despite being too briskly paced and lacking Rod Serling's script.Forest Witiker does well as Colonel Cassey though he is a little hard to watch at times. Sam Waterston does well as the Southern President and its a shame we don't see more of him. Dana Delaney really doesn't add much to the film but she plays a necessary role in the film. And of Jason Robards does well as the villain of the film as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General R. Pendleton Lloyd.While there are numerous subplots removed and some added (though the Russians weren't really needed in this film) the film still manages to be true to the classic's plot. The script manages to convey a sense of urgency in the story and the revelations are revealed in a nice manor. The film has a little bit of action in it and these scenes are mostly unnecessary but they don't hurt the film very much.Overall The Enemy Within is a better then average made for TV movie. As I wrote this film is not in the same caliber as the original film, it still manages to present a frightening and all-too possible scenario. A nice little suspense film to pass your time with and it's nothing more and nothing less then that.

Colonel Casey (Forest Whitaker) discovers a coup d´etat leaded by General Lloyd (Jason Robards). He makes contact with the President of USA, William Forster (Sam Masterston) through his secretary Betsy (Dana Delany). The have just a couple of day to resolve a serious situation against the legality of their political system. I have this movie for many years, but the theme did not attract me. Yesterday I decided to watch it and what a surprise: a great TV movie. The cast is excellent, and the direction is sharp, in a political thriller with lots of action. I confess that I have never seen John Frankenheimer's `Seven Days In May', but I believe that the viewer will not be disappointed with this remake. My vote is eight.

Bad acting, bad dialogs, bad dialog rendering. Man! It felt like everyone was moving in a daze while acting. Even dialogs whichare supposed to be delivered with a PUNCH are just....read out! And ofcourse, the story line was totally disconnected.Stay away from this unless you want to laugh at stupid movies with your friends - actually you probably wont be able to do that either!
