Instinto peligroso

I like Scott Eastwood. He IS a good actor. He's believable as a bad guy. He's NOT believable as a tough guy. He his dad's eyes. He does NOT have his dad's voice (his voice is much higher). When he tries to be Clint he fails (which I assume he was trying to do here). He's supposed to be this stupid tough guy but you barely see him do anything tough. What fight scenes he does have are the quick cut quick shot scenes where you really can't tell what's going on and it's clear he really can't fight well. The story is so drawn out and could have been better with a better script. There's lot of logic thrown out the window and what's even more painful is watching the great Famke Janssen who is one of those ladies who would have aged gracefully for sure, with the plastic surgery (on her eyes and cheeks for sure) and all you can think of is "why?" (like Nicole Kidman).

If you can get through this mess without fast forwarding you're a better person than I. And when Scott Eastwood is trying to do his dad, it's even more painful. His dad is one of the greatest, most charismatic actors ever and Scott will always be a fine actor but will never be his dad.

He was great in Wrath of Man. Not in this.

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.

Good B movie with some big names Could have been so much better. Mel Gibson plays a short part but a great one. Scott Eastwood was ok but to me not really believable as his character. He fell short in some scenes. He is a great actor but just didn't do it for me. Overall it's alright.

You will love the dialogues between the main characters Yes, "Dangerous" is predictable. So what? If you are well tuned in and listen to the dialogues between Scott Eastwood (D), his eccentric psychiatrist (Mel Gibson) and Destiny Millns (Jo), you will really enjoy this movie. Scott Eastwood, for his part, plays D as apathetic as possible, sounding more and more like his father. Outstanding acting from Mel Gibson (has been a while....) and Destiny Millns (Jo). You can also see and feel the chemistry in the dialogues between these three characters. The movie is missing a couple of things and therefore will not be well received by the audience. That´s my guess. But I think that whatever this movie might be missing is made up by the dialogues. I found the dialogues catchy, really well written and executed. And do not forget that there´s a little plot twist at the end. Forget prejudice and have a go! Watch and you will enjoy.

Going into a movie. Always know the material. This is a b story movie with some good actors and a typical story. Eastwood does a good job of acting like a sociopath. Gibson is always welcome in his roles and does a great job of adding a light hearted personality to this. Again. Typical story with some plot holes. And. That is okay. Great for a quick watch if you like action mixed with a bit of comedy. Sometimes the comedy here is misplaced, but it still works in my opinion. The supporting cast does good with what they are given. And. That is all I ask for a b movie. With a few tweaks, would have been an an action thriller. Have seen a lot worse than this. The last few years of the marvel universe comes to mind.
