A Dangerous Place is an interesting but stupidly flawed thriller that started out strong but fell apart due to baffling writing.
It tells the story of a virulent strain of TB that breaks out in new york 8 months after 9/11. The movie follows a high ranking member of staff within a big pharma company, the one that actually has the drug that can combat the TB. But with internal pressure to sell the company, fear of terrorism and a potential conspiracy is everything as it seems?
Again A Dangerous Place starts strong and had me really quite gripped, the lead is excellent and story really felt like it was really going somewhere.
But now here is the problem, when it falls apart it falls apart hard. Some of the later writing is beyond stupid and the tacked on supernatural feel good element made me facepalm harder than I have for a longtime.
Had it not been for these two issues this could have been a fantastic thriller, but the way it's come out is a beautiful diamond drowning in a puddle of poop.
The Good:
Kristen Dalton is excellent
Some good ideas
Excellent soundtrack
The Bad:
Tad predictible
Too much religious nonsense
The pet again, really!
The antagonists motivation makes no sense
The supernatural elements are beyond stupid
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
The writer for this film needs hanging upside down from the nearest tree and have sponges dipped in Ox pee thrown at them for at least a week
