Dangerous Waters

I recently watched "Dangerous Waters" (2023), and I must say that the film left me with mixed feelings. It started off with promise, piquing my interest with its intriguing premise. However, as the narrative unfolded, it hit a plateau, succumbing to a prolonged period of mediocrity. Just when it seemed like the story was treading water, it managed to regain some momentum towards the end, sparking my interest once again.

The overall experience was okay; it served its purpose as a way to pass the time, but it didn't offer anything exceptional. One glaring issue was the noticeable sag in the middle of the movie, creating a lull that tested my patience. Despite this, the film redeemed itself in the final act, injecting a renewed sense of excitement.

One standout aspect that deserves recognition is the lead actress's performance. I was thoroughly impressed by her portrayal, and I couldn't help but imagine how perfect she would be as Lara Croft in the reboot of the franchise. Her talent and charisma added a layer of enjoyment to an otherwise average movie.

In conclusion, "Dangerous Waters" is a passable cinematic experience that may entertain you for a couple of hours.

Dangerous Waters is a film that promises thrills but delivers a yawn-inducing journey instead. With a running time of 100 minutes, it feels like a long, tedious wait in a queue where the end point is just as unexciting as the wait itself. The dialogue is muddled and forgettable, while the characters lack any spark of genuine emotion, making it hard to care about their fates. Watching this movie is like listening to a recital of the phone book - monotonous and uninspiring. So consider this review a kind nudge to skip this flick and choose a more rewarding way to spend your time. And if you do end up watching it, may the odds of staying awake be ever in your favor!

This is one of the most unbelievable movies I have watched recently. The characters were bad, the acting mediocre and the storyline was stupid.

If you are a fan of any of the actors, you may want to watch it just to see how bad it is.

It probably was made to be shown on the Lifetime channel.

It's Ray Liotta's last movie. I am sure he wasn't happy with it. (RIP Ray) I think the casting was bad too. The villain was a joke. I was amazed at the Rose character who could do no wrong.

I am amazed at the 10/10 ratings this crap shoot was given. Almost seems like they watched a different movie. Watch at your own risk.

What can I say ? Sometimes I wonder how people find the resources to waste on an absolute moronic film. This has nothing to do with budget limitations. The story and the acting were horrendous and truly unbelievable. It already started on the wrong footing when the car's starter motor refused to engage and the mother was tapping the windscreen wiper motor to get it going which it miraculously did so. It's not really an issue, but it wouldn't cost a lot of effort to at least get some of the details right. But that episode is representative for the whole film. Absolutely unbelievable. Even the 1 rating is too much.

No pun intended - but I could not leave the waters to take any blame! It is not them who are dangerous - but individuals or rather humans to be more exact. That said our main character has quite a few issues ... one of them is going on a trip with her mom and her new lover. As the title suggest not all will go smoothly - rocking the boat and all that.

Of course the characters could not know that - but it did not go as bad as I thought it would be. That said there are quite a few issues with logic and inconsistencies ... her being quite bad with a row, but then quite steady handed later on, when ..... well it almost makes no sense ... it actually makes no sense to be honest.

Anyway, suspend your disbelief - and watch this if you like low budget thrillers ... also nice to see Ray Liotta in one of his last roles (even if only for a short amount of time) ...
