Enemies Closer is a 2013 American action thriller film directed by Peter Hyams and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Tom Everett Scott, Orlando Jones and Linzey Cocker. In it, a former Navy SEAL is marked for death by the mourning brother of a comrade he left behind, only to have to team up with him when they both become targets of a deranged crime lord.[3]

It was Hyams' third directorial collaboration with Van Damme, following 1994's Timecop and 1995's Sudden Death,[4] and the first of these to feature the actor in a villainous role.[3] The film received mostly positive reviews.
