Dangerous Waters

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.

Dangerous Waters is a film that promises thrills but delivers a yawn-inducing journey instead. With a running time of 100 minutes, it feels like a long, tedious wait in a queue where the end point is just as unexciting as the wait itself. The dialogue is muddled and forgettable, while the characters lack any spark of genuine emotion, making it hard to care about their fates. Watching this movie is like listening to a recital of the phone book - monotonous and uninspiring. So consider this review a kind nudge to skip this flick and choose a more rewarding way to spend your time. And if you do end up watching it, may the odds of staying awake be ever in your favor!

The movie is so-so. I've certainly seen worse. But what I've not seen worse is Eric Dane's acting. I also saw him in The Ravine recently and he was equally bad. My wife says he was good in Grey's Anatomy but in my two experiences watching him in movies, well, he's just awful.

Odeyo is passable in her role as a teenager caught in difficult circumstances and I will definitely watch her in other films to see how her career progresses. Her character in this role, I think the writing left a little to be desired, but with what she had to work with I thought she did alright.

There is a lot of very slow speaking by actors. Made the movie drag on longer. All in all, probably better off finding something else to watch.

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.
