Scott Eastwood's performance alone is worth the time investment. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

There is a reason Dangerous keeps coming up in conversation. The plotting gives Dangerous its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. A reformed sociopath heads to a remote island after the death of his brother. Soon after his arrival, the island falls under siege from a deadly gang of mercenaries, and when he discovers their role in his brother’s demise, he sets out on a relentless quest for vengeance. Scott Eastwood and Mel Gibson lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2021. What makes Dangerous hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you cannot walk away from a good mystery, Dangerous will keep you hooked. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Scott Eastwood's performance is the kind that shows up on best-of lists years later. If you have been looking for something to fill the gap left by a recently finished story, this is a reliable answer.
