Review of Enemy Mine (1985) by Rcavey92212 — 06 Apr 2020
This is such a weird movie. It's heart is in the right place and I love that it commits to the material but it's just such an odd little film with a great turns by hunky Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr. As Drac. It concerns a man that crashes on a desolate alien planet with only one other his enemy. Over time they forge a connection and than sort of a family as a child is born and the alien is asexual. The movie is definitely interesting and it does some intriguing things with the material that offers subtext about racism and understanding. Although it is emotionally resonant and engaging the movie never completely connects the way it should. That being said, it's still a fascinating but flawed production.
