Film Review – Dangerous

Making low-budget films isn’t easy, with challenges common to the job, forcing moviemakers to dream up solutions to make sure something ends up on the screen. In the case of “Dangerous,” money matters allegedly crippled the production, which started shooting in 2015 before running into difficulties, triggering a five-year break from work, resuming in 2020. This incredible delay is perhaps the most interesting aspect of “Dangerous,” which suffers from a nondescript title and an even blander plot. Screenwriter Christopher Borrelli hopes to generate a “Die Hard”-style actioner with a northwestern island setting, but he doesn’t have many ideas for mayhem, electing to keep the material in neutral as dull characters interact, occasionally shooting guns at one another. Director David Hackl is equally uninspired, playing a long game of padding to make a feature-length run time, showing limited vision for the level of extreme physicality this type of entertainment needs to distinguish itself.
