The Enemy Within (1994)
Member Rating:  
An attempt to overthrow the President of the United States is the subject of this made-for-cable conspiracy-thriller. Forest Whitaker stars as Colonel Mackenzie Casey, a loyal member of President Foster's (Sam Waterston) inner circle. When Casey discovers a plot by his superior (Jason Robards) to stage a coup during military exercises, he teams up with Foster to thwart the plans before it's too late. The story was based on a novel by Charles W. Bailey and Fletcher Knebel, and Whitaker was nominated for a SAG Award for his lead performance. ~ Bernadette McCallion, Rovi

This was a first rate film with superb acting by Forest Whitaker and Sam Waterson..an exciting storyline with potential possiblities even today..a scary scenario to say the least but possible even in todays climate...as president Eisenhower said beware of the military industrial complex rings truer today than even in the film. 31/2 stars!!

This seemingly remake of the SEVEN DAYS OF MAY was superbly edited and gave more credence to Military Life and the constitution. I enjoyed the storyline much better than the SEVEN DAYS OF MAY. Jason Robard gave a stellar performace as did Forest Whitaker and Sam Waterson.

This movie had numerous good qualities -- good acting, especially -- and suspense, but it didn't hang together convincingly. It seemes as if the director couldn't decide where to focus the audience's attention.

Howard P.

A poor remake of the original story. The plot points are weak, little suspense, and poor character development. Do yourself a favor and watch the original "Seven Days in May" which is a Rod Serling masterpiece.
