Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Enemy Territory was a pretty good movie & better than I expected it to be.I watched it from start to finish on the edge of my seat, wondering if & how Ray Parker Jr. (Yes, that Ray Parker Jr.) & the insurance salesman would make it out of the projects alive.Speaking of Ray Parker Jr., I didn't realize he was in the movie until I saw it on IMDb.Kadeem Hardison was in it as well as A-Train.A young Tony Todd was most evil as the leader of The Vampires & Jan-Michael Vincent was great as the Vietnam vet who turned his apartment into a bunker & the only tenant The Vampires were scared of because he was the only 1 who would shoot back. (Did Jan-Michael Vincent's character remind anybody else of Rowdy Roddy Piper or was it just me?) Even though it did keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time & was better than I expected, Enemy Territory isn't a movie I'd watch that often but I would watch it again.It had my attention while it was on but after it was over, I was like...... I'd recommend anybody & everybody go see it though.It's most definitely worth watching, at least once

Insurance salesman Barry (Gary Frank) visits an urban ghetto to sell insurance to a client and has a run in with a young member of a vicious street gang called the Vampires. This gang runs the district. Soon their leader, aptly named 'The Count' (Tony Todd) hears about this and wants Barry dead. Barry is trapped in the apartment building with no way out; we soon see the murder of an elderly cop who tries to protect Barry so we know the gang mean business. Barry teams up with Ray Parker Jnr and they also enlist the help of the only man the gang supposedly fears, the wheelchair bound Parker, a Vietnam War veteran, (played by Jan-Michael Vincent). However they are totally outnumbered. The vampires are after blood.The film is fast paced and entertaining but does has strong violence and racism in as well so be warned. Sadly this film is hard to find and seems to have disappeared since the VHS days. Ray Parker Jnr is first class and you question why he never became a mega star. Tony Todd is a great presence as always and it's sad that Candy man was the height of his career, he deserved better. He does seem to enjoy himself in the role as the count. Jan-Michael Vincent completes a great cast. Also a great music soundtrack from the Boogie boys an American hip hop band group from New York, where this film was shot. The band sadly spilt up a year after this film was made.Watch out for the clever ending; note the gang are called Vampires when you look for this. This film is worth the effort to hunt down even if it's only an old VHS you can find. Deserves a DVD release.

This was one of those films I constantly saw on the video previews of ex-rentals and each time I saw it pop up my hunger only grew to watch it. Produced by Charles Band's Empire pictures, "Enemy Territory" was a nice surprise (strangely not on DVD yet) and truly a sock 'em urban action survival romp that is compulsively brutal, raw and relentless in its tightly constructed surges.Barry (Gary Frank) a struggling insurance salesman heads out to a rundown complex building the Lincoln Towers late one evening for a client (Frances Foster) to sign some very important papers for his company and especially for himself. However he gets caught in an altercation which sees him fighting for his life against a savage gang called the vampires, who rule the building at night. Also getting involved is Will (Ray Parker, Jr) a telephone repairman who comes to his aid. It's going to be one long night for the pair, as they try seeking help from the buildings tenants or it would be their blood for the vampires. They hunt at night for blood.A low-budget, but well-pulled off enterprise by director Peter Manoogian. He creates a gritty edge from its surroundings (plenty of taut corridor running), where the pacing is fast, the tension is on boil and the claustrophobic build-up has you biting your finger nails. A simple-minded script keeps it tough, especially with its biting wit and a bit of social commentary lingers on urban decay. Still just take it as caught in the wrong place, at the wrong time situation. Coming to the forefront is the potent performances by the cast. Gary Frank is fittingly good in his meek portrayal and Ray Parker, Jr is affably brought across. Their chemistry simply crackles. The tremendous standout would be aggressively hammy and towering Tony Todd as the count, the leader of the gang. His speeches are pure poetry and he eats it up. A spunky Stacey Dash adds plenty of kick to her role and also Frances Foster. Jan-Michael Vincent would appear in a small part as a grizzled, resentful paraplegic Vietnam veteran. In the background is a pounding soundtrack.

You really don't see a movie like this for the performances. It's all for the action. Yes this movie is somewhat racist, but it also says a lot about life along the way, how we treat people according to race and environment, how we view that 'Nam-rattled vet in a wheelchair down the hall who resembles a drugged out Jan-Michael Vincent. Seriously, this film could've been a minor classic with a stronger cast, sort of one of those uncompromising horror epics as LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and HILLS HAVE EYES. Why, if Wes Craven had made this instead of HILLS HAVE EYES 2, DEADLY FRIEND, SHOCKER, PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, and VAMPIRE IN BROOKLYN, he wouldn't have had to wait 12 years between the original NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST and SCREAM to once again be heralded a genius of the thinking man's horror cinema. A person with his wit, intelligence and genuine talent behind the camera could've made this one something that transcended the action/horror/ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13-type genre. As it stands though, it's a decent night out in exploitation cinema as long as you give the themes some good thought afterwards.
