Dangerous Waters

Rose reluctantly joins mum Alma and her new boyfriend Derek on a boat holiday, but a tragic accident lands Rose in a desperate situation.

It's bonkers, it's one of those outrageously over the top movies, that's so wild, that it's hard not to enjoy. A story of revenge, a quite impossible to believe story of revenge and justice.

If you think Michael Myers of Halloween fame was hard to kill, he doesn't have anything on this dude, he's indestructible.

Reality exists in the early stages, but don't be lulled into thinking that this is a straight up thriller, it soon looses the plot, and verges on a kind of horror fantasy, but there is never a dull moment.

The ending is crazy, and came out of nowhere, but it definitely had me on the edge of my seat.

I get why some didn't like it, I thought it was fun.

6/10.

No pun intended - but I could not leave the waters to take any blame! It is not them who are dangerous - but individuals or rather humans to be more exact. That said our main character has quite a few issues ... one of them is going on a trip with her mom and her new lover. As the title suggest not all will go smoothly - rocking the boat and all that.

Of course the characters could not know that - but it did not go as bad as I thought it would be. That said there are quite a few issues with logic and inconsistencies ... her being quite bad with a row, but then quite steady handed later on, when ..... well it almost makes no sense ... it actually makes no sense to be honest.

Anyway, suspend your disbelief - and watch this if you like low budget thrillers ... also nice to see Ray Liotta in one of his last roles (even if only for a short amount of time) ...

I recently watched "Dangerous Waters" (2023), and I must say that the film left me with mixed feelings. It started off with promise, piquing my interest with its intriguing premise. However, as the narrative unfolded, it hit a plateau, succumbing to a prolonged period of mediocrity. Just when it seemed like the story was treading water, it managed to regain some momentum towards the end, sparking my interest once again.

The overall experience was okay; it served its purpose as a way to pass the time, but it didn't offer anything exceptional. One glaring issue was the noticeable sag in the middle of the movie, creating a lull that tested my patience. Despite this, the film redeemed itself in the final act, injecting a renewed sense of excitement.

One standout aspect that deserves recognition is the lead actress's performance. I was thoroughly impressed by her portrayal, and I couldn't help but imagine how perfect she would be as Lara Croft in the reboot of the franchise. Her talent and charisma added a layer of enjoyment to an otherwise average movie.

In conclusion, "Dangerous Waters" is a passable cinematic experience that may entertain you for a couple of hours.

Wow. You could have left about 45 minutes of this crap on the cutting room floor. The story like was OK but it took FOREVER for anything to happen.

Odeya Rush was good in the lead. Too many unbelieveable things- things that would have killed any human in real life were just flesh wounds to the people the writers wanted to keep alive for later.

It's sad that Ray Liotta passed away during the filming but I have a feeling he wouldn't have been especially proud of this movie.

We stuck with it for the entire time but we are sure it would have been a much better movie had they cut out some of the boring nothing happening parts and tightened it up.

Perhaps it helped, but I was aware of the negative reviews before I watched Dangerous Waters. I almost expected a really bad movie. What I got was an enjoyable B grade of a film that was both messy and good throughout. Ray Liotta was barely in this, but I must say that I was still impressed by his performance. We truly lost a very talented artist because his intense glare will haunt me forever. I also liked Odeya Rush's performance as the resilient Rose. Rush can act and I think she did a good job with what she was given to work with. Sadly, I can't say the same for Eric Dane. That's not to say he was bad, but he could have been more convincing. It was as if he was trying too hard at times, and sometimes less is more. All in all, I liked this. It's not gonna get any Oscars, but I was entertained. RIP Ray Liotta.
