This is How Movies Should Be Made

That was an excellent one.

Am I Missing Something?

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

A DANGEROUS PLACE is an odd little thriller from the guys at PM Entertainment. It's very much a rip-off of THE KARATE KID, although it has more plotting than expected and a set-up which takes half an hour to get through. PM also manage to throw in some requisite action set-pieces featuring car chases and explosions, shoehorned into the plot just as you like. The film's main protagonists are quite boring but you do get cameoing stars like Marshall R. Teague and Dick Van Patten (no strangers to working at PM) alongside former BUCK ROGERS pin-up Erin Gray and good old Mako as the sensei. Best of all is the rare opportunity to see Corey Feldman, cast against type as the villain of the piece. He's a hoot!

This is a horrible film. Its nothing like the Karate Kid except that it has a kid in it who knows Karate. The plot is paper thin, the acting is cardboard (Corey Feldman included) and character development consists of good guys in white, bad guys in red. The whole film takes itself far too seriously and this is especially evident anytime the overly dramatic soundtrack ques in (good example being the very serious sounding synth music being played during a food fight in a school cafeteria as students smile on). The way the film plays out it feels like they're making it up on the spot. Even the action is boring and safe feeling. Don't waste your time.

The premise of the film is simple enough: A young martial artist's older brother is murdered by a group of teenage martial artists from a rival school. This film may sound a little redundant, but believe me, it offers some fantastic fight scenes and envokes a real moral issue that might make some people question just how far should one go for revenge. Though this is tagged as an "R" rated film, I want to assure you that this film lacks the same level of violence and language that some PG-13 films sneak by with. The "R" rating is really for the tone of the film. It also has a few dark sub plots about the rival schools sensei being involved in criminal activity such as prostitution and grand theft. All in all this is a must see film for die hard martial art fanatics

Really well made for a low budget action film. Great fights. Suspenseful scenes. Good acting. Well paced and directed.
