With its sententious air of historical reckoning, Enemies is an impressive monument, but not a moving one.

Intimate Enemies exposes the horrors of warfare through the eyes of a French platoon during Algeria's war for independence. Focusing on the psychological effects of war, the film follows naive officer Terrien and the atrocities he witnesses as he combats a ruthless guerilla force led by a French mercenary.

What are critics saying?
Visceral and engrossing.
The Hollywood Reporter by Kirk Honeycutt
While following a fairly predictable story line, the film has enough ambushes, treachery and irony to sustain audience involvement with a range of characters that stand for diverse points of view about that war.
It could be set during the war in Iraq, but the brutal French film Intimate Enemies takes place in 1959, at the height of the Algerian struggle against French rule.
