Dangerous Waters

Rose reluctantly joins mum Alma and her new boyfriend Derek on a boat holiday, but a tragic accident lands Rose in a desperate situation.

It's bonkers, it's one of those outrageously over the top movies, that's so wild, that it's hard not to enjoy. A story of revenge, a quite impossible to believe story of revenge and justice.

If you think Michael Myers of Halloween fame was hard to kill, he doesn't have anything on this dude, he's indestructible.

Reality exists in the early stages, but don't be lulled into thinking that this is a straight up thriller, it soon looses the plot, and verges on a kind of horror fantasy, but there is never a dull moment.

The ending is crazy, and came out of nowhere, but it definitely had me on the edge of my seat.

I get why some didn't like it, I thought it was fun.

6/10.

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) ...

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!

The movie is so-so. I've certainly seen worse. But what I've not seen worse is Eric Dane's acting. I also saw him in The Ravine recently and he was equally bad. My wife says he was good in Grey's Anatomy but in my two experiences watching him in movies, well, he's just awful.

Odeyo is passable in her role as a teenager caught in difficult circumstances and I will definitely watch her in other films to see how her career progresses. Her character in this role, I think the writing left a little to be desired, but with what she had to work with I thought she did alright.

There is a lot of very slow speaking by actors. Made the movie drag on longer. All in all, probably better off finding something else to watch.

Rose (Odeya Rush) is hesitant with her mother Alma (Saffron Burrows) introducing new boyfriend Derek Stipes (Eric Dane). He is taking them on a trip on his sailboat. One night, men board the boat looking for something. Rose is left struggling for her life.

Most importantly, Ray Liotta died while filming this. It's nothing to write home about. He's a creepy captain for a few minutes. This movie would be a lot better as a two person film. Rose and Derek have a good creepy relationship. I'm with this movie up until she leaves the island. The boat is all too unreal. She turns into Rambo and I don't see it.
