Living with the Enemy

An astonishingly bottom-of-the-barrel thriller, Living with the Enemy follows Sarah Lancaster’s Allison as she falls for (and marries) a tech billionaire named Phillip (Mark Humphrey) and discovers that he may or may not have a few deadly skeletons in his closet. The degree to which Living with the Enemy proves unable to even fleetingly engage the viewer is nothing short of shocking, as filmmaker Philippe Gagnon delivers a sluggish, interminable endeavor that’s been suffused with a whole host of almost hilariously incompetent elements – with, especially, the ludicrous storyline, amateurish performances, and hopelessly unconvincing dialogue cumulatively cementing the movie’s place as a thoroughly worthless piece of work. There’s ultimately never a point at which the picture is able to justify its very existence, and it’s hard not to wonder, given the rampant laziness of everyone involved, why the movie was even conceived and assembled in the first place.
