After a major shipment of drugs goes missing on the US-Canadian border, forest ranger and former Navy SEAL Henry is plunged into survival mode when the drug cartel forces him to help retrieve the downed package. Trapped in the wilderness with no communication to the outside world, Henry finds himself face to face with Clay, a man with a personal vendetta against Henry who has returned for retribution. Now, the two mortal enemies must make a choice: put aside their past and work together, or die alone at the hands of the drug runners, a ruthless gang who will stop at nothing to retrieve their lost cargo.

Best movie of this year hands down!
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Van Damme is a environmentally concerned drug runner with weird hair who has lost his latest shipment and needs a park rangers help to get it back. Picture the movie Cliffhanger with out the talent, budget and John Lithgow being super creepy. I know Van Damme has made some bad movies in his career, but for the most part you would never have called him flat out boring, until Enemies Closer. It has some mediocre action, and mentions canoes more then other movie since Deliverance, which is not something to really brag about, but there is very little else to say about this very boring movie.2 Beards Out Of 5
I am not joking here i am very serious about this i have seen many bad guys in movies so far i liked some of James Bond ones & mission impossible series & the most recent famous villain the joker from batman who blew everyone away in the dark knight 2008 the performance by heath ledger was amazing but this time its Jean Claude Van Damme the most beloved action hero of our times now playing negative roles these days the stuff he does here is pure psychotic and the climax is a solid proof that he surpassed every villain in history of cinema as far as cinematic bad guys are concerned i will not go into the detail of real versus comic book villains that is another debate this character Xander is evil in a simple way even if he gets killed he is sure that he will resurrect somehow i am just saying i saw this film and this is my view on it.Then Plot:a drug cartel arrives in the forest to extract valuable drugs that went missing in deep sea now before these events happen the forest ranger & an ex navy guy argue and start fighting with each other but Xander the crazy villain opens assault on them now how will these two escape the situation the answer is in this film.The Cast:all of the actors did there best but Jcvd rocks it he is so smooth in his dialogs & deep in the character it was lovely to seem him in a negative role but i have always liked him as a hero he does have a great comic timing when needed.The whole film is filled in a jungle and in night the theme is dark,it is high on suspense the director wanted to create a mood that fits everything and it was a success no doubt about it plus i would like to say something about the ending when Van Damme is in the boat trying to escape the hero sees an opportunity to flame the water because there was oil leaking already just when the boat is about to blow Jcvd transforms into the most crazy,insane,complete maniac & hilarious bad guy who loves death more then anything he laugh hard & says Gasoline! and then boom the boat blows up that is by far the funniest scene i have ever seen to be honest here no actor can do this not even Nicolas Cage or John Travolta.There is nothing much here except dark comedy,suspense,action & the epic performance by Jean Claude Van Damme so even if you are not a fan of the joker from batman or Jcvd you will still like it for what it is noting more my rating for Enemies Closer 2013 is 6/10.Recomended.
I was hesitant to watch this as Van Damme movies have not been watchable for years but with two of my favorite actors (Orlando Jones, Tom Everett Scott) in it, I had to give it a look. Jones and Everett were great playing likable adversaries turned allies. Working with a budget of a TV movie, Hyams does an excellent job. With some decent action, I was happy to see the fight scenes performed without all the dramatic back and forth of other Van Damme movies. Throw in some humor and a twist and you have a very entertaining watch. But the real surprise was Van Damme who, for once, seems to be enjoying himself and creates a memorable character that you wish somehow survives to fight another day. But he did go out with a bang.
This is a Pretty Good Van Damme as the Short One is Aging Somewhat Gracefully and seems to be having Fun Playing Complete Psychotics of the Comic Book Variety. Taking a cue from the Joker, He Slays and Plays with a Teased Up Orange Hairdo and Jokes for the John.Here Director/Cinematographer Peter Hyams Clicks Away with One Fight Scene After Another in Various Locations for Variety and the Body Count is High and the Violence is Intense. But Buffering it all is the Whimsical Van Damme and a Tone of High Style and Over the Top Dialog.This is a DTV that Caught some by Surprise because it is Above Average for that Type of Thing and it Delivers the Goods like a B-Movie Should. The Supporting Cast is Along for the Ride but No One can Keep Up with Van Damme and for the most part are Interchangeable and Hardly Worth Remembering. But They do Show Up for the Shoot and there is Quite a bit of that along with some Bone Crushing Hand to Hand that is Impressive. Watch Out for the One in the Trees.
