Description: “Dangerous” (2021) is an action thriller that follows a reformed sociopath as he travels to a remote island to unravel the mystery behind his brother’s death. However, he soon finds himself facing unexpected challenges. The film features Scott Eastwood as Dylan Forrester, a former Navy SEAL with a dark past, portrayed as a cold and emotionless killing machine. Despite his psychopathic tendencies, he is on a path to recovery, taking daily anti-psychotic medication prescribed by his psychiatrist, played by Mel Gibson.
The movie blends elements of Jason Bourne and Hannibal Lecter, with Eastwood’s character echoing the stoic, ruthless persona reminiscent of classic Clint Eastwood roles. While the film attempts to deliver suspense and action, it feels disjointed and overly reliant on tropes from other movies, lacking a cohesive identity.
Despite Eastwood’s strong performance, “Dangerous” struggles with a convoluted plot and uneven storytelling, leaving audiences questioning its direction. The film’s attempt to combine psychological depth with action sequences falls short, resulting in a mixed and underwhelming experience.
