Sheila Johnston Independent (UK) 11/13/2017
Abel Ferrara has never been exactly a mainstream film-maker, but with Dangerous Game he wanders too deep into the margins, even for die-hard Ferrara addicts. Go to Full Review

One of [Ferrara's] most rewardingly challenging works. Go to Full Review

It's especially good at showing how bad blood behind the camera can spill on to the screen. Go to Full Review

A.L.Jude P @judebd 08/07/2023 Hmmm. not that great with a cast loaded with heavy stuff. See more 10/07/2020 Perhaps a bit confusing in her metatextual message, but the Madonna's performance would have deserved a Golden Globe nomination, her best performance as an actress. See more 06/22/2017 Excellent Ferrara's work (Like all that moment in his career). Keitel and Russo are fantastic as well as Madonna and Nancy Ferrara. See more Cameron M 04/24/2017 Though helped by an accomplished performance by Madonna, Dangerous Game's meta story telling never makes any connection, purpose, or momentum, outside of tepid entertainment. See more 02/11/2016 It's really amazing and sad to see this movie is ranked as low as it is here. This is the ONLY movie you will ever see Madonna actually ACT in. She hated the experience (or so it is rumored). Abel Ferrara is one my favorite 'New York' directors. 'Bad Lieutenant', 'King of New York' and 'The Funeral' are all favs. This is a gritty look at 'method acting', independent film making and 'B' smoke. All the performances are great and it's also a behind the scenes look at the New York Art/Drugs/Party scene of the late 80's, early 90's. It's really sort of time capsule. And it deserves better understanding and far better treatment than a 29% rating. See more 01/07/2015 Depois da confiança e crédito acumulados com "King of New York"(1990) e "Bad Lieutenant" (1992), era apenas legítimo que Abel Ferrara decidisse arriscar tudo num filme que o confirmasse como um realizador a ter em conta em Hollywood. Com dinheiro da Madonna (através da Maverick) e uma ambição considerável, "Dangerous Game" é um complexo exercício de vocação experimental focado em tópicos habituais no cinema de Ferrara: vício, culpa, redenção, a obrigação de responder a Deus, mesmo que tardiamente. Contudo nem toda a gente encontra paciência para um filme que explora um desdobramento exaustivo da personalidade de Abel Ferrara e ainda por cima levando tantas vezes ao extremo o seu trio principal de actores (Keitel só sabe ser maior que a vida e Madonna - apesar de ter deserdado o filme - oferece uma das suas prestações mais convincentes). É por isso também que "Dangerous Game" parece muito mais preparado para estimular os apreciadores de Ferrara do que para conquistar um novo público. É fraquinho, sim, mas tem de ser visto por quem tem qualquer vontade de conhece melhor o senhor de "Ms. 45" e "Driller Killer". See more Read all reviews
