Ex-con and reformed sociopath Dylan Forrester (Scott Eastwood) is trying to quietly serve out his parole -- with the help of a steady supply of antidepressants and his eccentric psychiatrist (Mel Gibson). But when his brother dies under mysterious circumstances, Dylan breaks parole and, with a dogged FBI agent (Famke Janssen) on his trail, goes to uncover the truth. A band of heavily armed mercenaries wants something Dylan's brother was hiding, and Dylan will need all his guile and tactical skills to survive in this action-packed thriller costarring Kevin Durand and Tyrese Gibson.

Save for that one confounding scene with Janssen, for the rest of the movie Gibson is alone, taking periodic phone calls from D and handing out absolutely horrible, uninformed, dangerous and irresponsible advice...

Rated: 1.5/4

It takes some chutzpah to name your siege thriller Dangerous, and unfortunately, there's not enough of it in the Scott Eastwood actioner of that name.

Rated: 1.5/4

A shambles of a movie, with a plot so contrived yet abstract that you spend each scene asking yourself how it's all supposed to add up.

Keith & the Movies

It takes an appealing cast and gives them unappealing characters, leaving them with the unenviable task of moving the audience to actually care about what we’re seeing. Sadly, we never do.

Rated: 1.5/5

… Surpasses its B-movie classification and delivers entertaining action that strikes the right chord at the right time. [Full review in Spanish]

This is Film

There isn't an awful lot about David Hackl's Dangerous that feels remotely original, least of all its stale, generic title that can't help but feel tragically ironic when the finish product is one that plays things entirely safe

Scott Eastwood, I love to see him in this action movie. He need to make more movies like this. He will be a great acting like his father.

It only got 30% Rotten Tomatoes, it wasn’t that bad. I’d’ve liked to have seen more of Dylan’s character and his interaction with his Dr. It was a sketch really with a plot that wasn’t too unusual but it had tension, a little humour and some action. I only went to my phone once, so kept me fairly interested. Just wanted more development, which was impossible considering the time it takes. Take a punt.

I know that all the boxes aren't checked for so-called top critics. I don't care. Mostly, they over analyze and are subjective as they look at the cast. I enjoyed this movie. I think the humor sneaks around the corner walls of suspense. Famkke provided info for the story but that was okay; just not what is usually expected for her talent. All in all, the acting was perfect for the story. My husband criticized it; but, he is stuck on the 1,2,3 adventure formula. I needed a feeling of escape entertainment, and it delivered.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this move. Lots of action broken up by comedic moments that had me laughing out loud.

Unfortunately, if you have some experience with horror or psycological movies, then this one is very predictable not mentioning the plot itself. Not a masterpiece but you can watch it if you want to burn some time.
