The story follows Dylan Forrester (Scott Eastwood), a former criminal and diagnosed sociopath who has been attempting to reform his ways. He is on parole and relies on medication, along with guidance from his eccentric psychiatrist, Dr. Alderwood (Mel Gibson), to control his violent impulses. Despite his efforts to lead a quiet life, his past refuses to let him go.

Dylan receives news that his estranged brother, Sean, has died under mysterious circumstances. He travels to a remote island to attend the funeral, only to discover that Sean’s death may not have been accidental. As Dylan begins to investigate, a group of ruthless mercenaries, led by the brutal Huxley (Kevin Durand), arrives on the island in search of something valuable that Sean had uncovered. The mercenaries quickly turn the gathering into a battleground, forcing Dylan to tap into his old skills to protect his mother and those around him.

The film explores themes of redemption, self-control, and the consequences of a violent past. Dylan’s internal battle is just as intense as the physical fight he faces against Huxley’s men. As he unravels the mystery behind his brother’s death, he realizes that his past might be the key to saving those he cares about.

Filled with intense action sequences, dark humor, and a gripping performance from Scott Eastwood, Dangerous is a fast-paced thriller that keeps audiences engaged. While it follows a familiar action-thriller formula, the film offers a unique perspective through its psychologically complex protagonist.
