A sailing adventure spirals out of control in this tightly wound-survival thriller. 19-year-old Rose (Odeya Rush) lives a tough, small-town life in Florida with her single mother Alma (Saffron Burrows). Their luck seems to take a turn when Alma's new businessman boyfriend, Derek (Eric Dane), whisks them away on a sailing adventure to Bermuda. While at sea, Derek's "business" is revealed to be less than legitimate when their boat is attacked by savage villains, set on fire, and Alma is viciously killed. Distraught and persecuted by Derek and The Captain (Ray Liotta), Rose unearths a primal instinct of survival and a terrifying need for vengeance. She will not yield until those responsible for her mother's murder are dead.

Phil Hoad Guardian An unsubtle and faintly ludicrous outing that at least is never boring. Rated: 3/5 Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews At least I didn't get seasick watching it. Rated: C Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media It has decent acting and cinematography, but this frustrating thriller is one of those movies in which the characters are either excruciatingly dim -- or terrible at hiding their true motivations. Rated: 2/5 Nov 13, 2023 Full Review Liz Braun Original Cin Dangerous Waters is a lot like an after-school TV special, only violent. Dubious, predictable, and short on character development, this B-movie cheesefest is nonetheless watchable thanks to a spirited performance from Odeya Rush (Lady Bird). Rated: C-plus Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix With horrendous film editing, Dangerous Waters (which is about a boat vacation that goes very wrong) has too many plot holes that are bigger than the ocean where much of this misguided story takes place. Nov 3, 2023 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture There is a sense of comfort in its predictability, just as there is a sense of exasperation. Oct 17, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Pinoy Short R Sayang oras. Napaka predictable ng kwento. Parang extra lang din si Ray Liotta dito. Bandang ending na nga lumabas, halos wala pang 5 mins ang screen time Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/25 Full Review John W I think it's underrated. Suspenseful from start till end, with good action and surprising twists. I also liked the acting and the different locations. The story has some unclear points you need to interpret, but overall it's a good film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/25 Full Review Audience Member Difficult to see that the director presented this young woman as being, “dumber than dirt.” Maybe some people are a little bit dumb, really?! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Audience Member I love it.. Need more hero women in movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Moko K Another waste of time. Silly storyline and more odd characters make for a slog of a movie. Watch at your own risk. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Matthew A Can’t recommend this movie. The lead actress chose to play the role with a very dour demeanor, which doesn’t really make sense. It’s as if she’s not really understanding her own dialogue and that of the other actors. Is English not her native language? The plot is somewhat interesting but the dialogue and the pace kill the movie. I didn’t get it and didn’t finish the movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Read all reviews
