…the result stands up better than a lot of 80’s fare…Enemy Mine conjures a wild world of adventure for our human and alien protagonists, and Quaid and Gossett Jr make a nice job of charting the growing trust and alliance between their characters…

A hard pill to swallow despite the gallant efforts of Dennis Quaid and Louis Gosset Jr.
