Dangerous: reviews

What the critics say average 3.5 from 13 outlets

• 6.3 AMovieGuy.comLeo Brady There's clearly a limited budget here, where little depth is given outside the main character, and still Dangerous makes for a thrilling enough escape of entertainment. Read
• 5.0 San Francisco ChronicleBob Strauss Director David Hackl’s biggest credit is Saw V, and he remains adept at gross torture and keeping a mystery moving. Definitely a B production, Dangerous has aspirations. View that as more of a comfort than a threat. Read
• 4.0 Flickering MythRobert Kojder It's strange to say in 2021 that Mel Gibson is the only good part of a movie, but such is the case with Dangerous Read
• 3.8 Roger EbertSimon Abrams 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. Read
• 3.8 Chicago Sun-TimesRichard Roeper It’s a nightmare of a performance by an actor playing a ludicrous character who is meant — I think — to be taken seriously. Read
• 3.8 Mark Reviews MoviesMark Dujsik Whether director David Hackl is unaware of the obvious comedy in this material or is simply incapable of communicating a joke is irrelevant. Read
• 3.5 NYC Movie GuruAvi Offer A painfully dull, preposterous and asinine B-movie that sorely lacks thrills, suspense and even a shred of plausibility. Read
• 3.0 VarietyOwen Gleiberman Dangerous is a bits-and-pieces action thriller with a fluky premise and a lead actor good enough to embody it. Made in the slipshod, overlit style of a straight-to-streaming potboiler, it’s not a rip-off so much as a film built out of spare parts from other movies, to the point that it never fully becomes itself.

• 3.0 AIPTNathaniel Muir What makes this frustrating is there is a good movie inside all the wackiness. The premise may be formulaic, but there are hints Dangerous is going to do more with it. Read
• 2.5 Slant MagazineMark Hanson Dangerous betrays the promise of its title by playing things extremely safe. Read
• 2.5 The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeFore A cheapo bit of action product that has nearly as little personality as its title. Read
• 2.0 Screen RantSarah Bea Milner Dangerous is an action movie with a unique premise, but its poor writing, stiff acting, and lack of charm make the 2021 movie borderline unwatchable. Read
• 2.0 Common Sense MediaTara McNamara Dangerous is a perfect storm of bad writing, bad acting, and bad directing. And it's a total celebration of violence. Read
