Well, I have to say that with the cast ensemble that were present for the 2021 action thriller "Dangerous", I was expecting a tad more than what writer Christopher Borrelli and director David Hackl actually delivered.
The storyline told in "Dangerous" was pretty straight forward. And there were aspects to the storyline that had potential and showed promise. But ultimately then just almost everything that writer Christopher Borrelli were setting up just never culminated in a fulfilling climax, and that made director David Hackl's delivery of the movie feel sluggish. And the movie was suffering terribly from that fact.
The narrative was dull and slow paced, as director David Hackl never let the movie pick up pace. So it was a fairly monotonous movie experience. And for a thriller, there wasn't much of anything particularly exciting or thrilling really. The movie was just too generic, bland and predictable.
The movie actually has a rather impressive cast list, which include Scott Eastwood, Kevin Durand, Famke Janssen, Tyrese Gibson, Mel Gibson and Brendan Fletcher to mention the most prominent. They put on good performances, just a shame that they had only limited contents to work with in terms of script and storyline.
"Dangerous" is a flaccid action thriller. And if you enjoy the action thriller genre, then there are far better choices of movies out there to provide proper entertainment. "Dangerous" is watchable, but that is also just about it.
My rating of "Dangerous" lands on a bland five out of ten stars.

An action thriller without much contents...
Femke, what the hell where you thinking?
I won't lie, Dangerous entertained me, but it wasn't that great in the end. The story contains quite a few scenes that don't make much sense but if you can look passed that it's just easy entertainment. Scott Eastwood can't deny who his father is, the resemblance is stunning. Too bad he doesn't get top scripts. Mel Gibson was never a great actor, and that didn't change in this movie. The biggest disappointment was Femke Janssen. What the hell happened to that woman? She was such a natural beauty. It's obvious she had work done (I'll never get why people do that) and the job wasn't succesful, that's the least we can say about that. It's a shame (mostly) women try to look younger and then get the opposite effect of what they were looking for. I can't imagine a second that she's happy about the result, nor that she doesn't regrets the terrible mistake she made. That said Dangerous is an easy to watch action movie, the kind where you put your brains on pause for a while.
Good to spend your time with...
"Dangerous" is an Action - Thriller movie in which we watch a sociopath going on a remote island to attend his brother's funeral and investigate his mysterious death. There he finds out more than he could ever imagine and he needs to deal with something new.
I did not have high expectations from this movie but I have to admit that I enjoyed it because it was simple and good to spend your time with. It contained some nice action scenes that in combination with the mysterious plot created an interesting movie. In addition to this, the direction which was made by David Hackl was good and he did a good job on the way he presented his main character and his behavior. The interpretation of Scott Eastwood who played as Dylan 'D' Forrester was simple but good enough for this movie. Lastly, I have to say that "Dangerous" is an average action movie but good enough to spend your time with.
