It may be an adaptation of a classic, but on the other hand, that doesn't mean it will be really good. And An Enemy of the People just wasn't good. The idea itself is not bad at all, but it was already good in Ibsen's play. The execution is not very well done for the current times. At the beginning, it is good, but gradually the impression fades into nothingness.

A poor adaptation, both in terms of the formal aspects (boring, hollow, nonrhythmic) and intellectual (it resembles aspiring entries from a reader's diary rather than a truly functional interpretation). The characters get lost in the hopeless and awkward mush of dialogue, and when the protagonist wants to break a few of Ibsen's key ideas at the end, it sounds so rhetorical, ridiculous and un-anchored that the entire gravity of the film disappears. It's hard to find a drama about truth where the hero sounds like a delirious hysteric in a spurious village eco-story.
