Plunging Toronto into a mix of piss and pea soup, the psychological drama Enemy trudges through the murky environment to uncover the spark at the heart of the 21st century man. Jake Gyllenhaal stars in a double role: Adam, a history teacher that's stuck in the amber mud, and Anthony, a budding actor comprised of pure id. They're identical, but not biological twins, existing in the same metropolis like co-orbital planets. The revelation of his “other” blindsides Adam. He becomes obsessed with finding answers. What he discovers isn't logical; As director Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners) peels back the layers of Enemy, reality becomes clouded, what “is” and “isn't” is less important than the gut feelings induced by his artsy thriller. Like Zodiac's metaphysical cousin, Enemy is a creepy, dense, and methodical mystery of the mind.
