It happens only rarely, very rarely I might add, that a movie turns out to be so utterly boring and uninteresting that I have to give up on it and turn it off. "A Dangerous Place", however, turned out to be one such movie.The story, as far as I made it into the movie, is about a woman who apparently lost her husband in the World Trade Center tragedy, but he has come back as a ghost. The woman is not the mother to her child that she should be, and is more devoted to her work than her family. And a deadly outbreak of Tubercolosis runs rampant.To me there was absolutely no coherent red thread in the storyline, and it seemed like it was a heap of mere random clips put together to attempt forming a movie. It just didn't really make much sense most of the time.As for the acting in the movie, well I wouldn't exactly say that the performances were poor or bad, but they just weren't overly impressive either. None of the performances managed to leave a lasting impression on me. But I can't hardly say that any of the performances that I witnessed were helping the movie along in any great way either.I think I made it about halfway into the movie, because I had to give up and find some other movie to watch out of sheer boredom and lack of interest in the storyline portrayed in "A Dangerous Place". And I can honestly say that I have no intention of attempting to finishing it either, it was just that devoid of appeal.

A Dangerous Place is a film worth checking out. Released in a time when terrorism is on everyone's mind, it could not have more appropriate, engrossing subject matter. It had me guessing and captivated until the final minutes. It poses questions regarding morality that I believe many would struggle with in the face of fear.Kristen Dalton is exceptional in her portrayal of the protagonist Claire Scully and the rest of the cast meets her intensity. Sal Rendino and Kevin Interdonato also put on great and convincing performances.I would recommend this creative take on threats in modern America to anyone who enjoys suspenseful films.

While recently attending The Film Festival of Colorado I had the pleasure of attending a screening of the film "A Dangerous Place"I must say that I was drawn in by the plot twists and also the strong performances of the actors. It was very well done for an independent film. The action was intense that I almost forgot that I was watching a movie. The story was well written and directed, and for a film - it wasn't really "over the top" by thriller movie standards, there were many tense moments to enjoy. This film is certainly far from the cookie cutter "global pandemic" films that have plagued Hollywood in recent years. It did not surprise me at all to find out that it won the festival's Best Feature award later.

"A DANGEROUS PLACE" is an edge of your seat THRILLER! I was attending The Film Festival of Colorado where I had the opportunity to experience this film. I was intrigued when I read the synopsis in the festival program guide and boy did the film deliver.I was amazed at the way the viewer is drawn into a storyline web of intrigue. The scenario of the film is so realistic. Deceit, corporate greed and the almighty dollar replace the importance of human life in this surprisingly exciting independent film. Kristen Dalton delivers one amazing performance as her character races against the clock to save not only herself, but society.
