so the righteous violence is justified.

Enough is not an awful film. You really do feel the fear and frustration on the part of the fleeing mother. I actually think Ms. Lopez is a decent actress...better than some of the other mega-stars frankly. The end is really worthwhile. IMO, they should have kept the hand to hand combat thing a secret when they promoted the film.
I mean of course we expect him to get it in the end, but it traditonally has been the rescuing male with a gun, or the accidental turning into the knife or some such. This one was deliberate, planned, mono e mono, pugilistic revenge. That is a first as far as I know and it worked well, I thought. JLo is pysically beefy enough to make you believe she can do it, and she does it with a good dose of attitude to boot. I think you will enjoy it.
