Review: Dangerous, Action Flick on Tubi

If you're looking for a free streaming service with what seems like thousands of movies, subscribe to Tubi. It's a film browser's paradise.

If I can't find something new and interesting on the other services we use, I go to Tubi and usually find something between good and weird.

Sure, there are commercials, but that's the cost—the necessary evil—of streaming free.

Dangerous Starring Scott Eastwood

Yes, this movie stars Clint's son who sometimes looks so much like the young Clint that it's uncanny. Also in this flick directed by Canadian David Hackl are Mel Gibson, Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Durand, and Famke Janssen.

The blurb for the film says: "A reformed sociopath travels to a remote island to uncover the truth behind his brother’s mysterious death, but he's met by a band of mercenaries."

In fact, this film is an odd mixture of a sociopath who killed a bunch of people—why didn't they say psychopath?—the therapy sessions by the prison shrink played by Mel Gibson designed to rehabilitate him and make him a member of society—affirmations and coginitive therapy seem to the be treatment—and the characterization of this oddball hero which seems the writers want you to infer he has Asperger's Syndrome.

Truthfully, I watched the film out of curiosity. Scott Eastwood is easy to look at, and I suspect he's a good actor. He just needs a well-written movie to show what he can do. I've seen him in a few things, but most have been clichés, stories that just miss the mark, or muddled stories like this one.

If you're an action fan, give it a look. If you want to avoid commercials, rent Dangerous on Amazon. It's only $3.99, and it might be your cup of tea.

Takeaway Truth

Speedman definitely has a presence. I look forward to seeing him in a really good movie.
