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 excellentSome good ideasExcellent soundtrackThe Bad:Tad predictibleToo much religious nonsenseThe pet again, really!The antagonists motivation makes no senseThe supernatural elements are beyond stupidThings 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

OK, I get that the bar for production quality in an indie film is set lower than for a blockbuster, but please. To me, there were too many things that were too amateurish to take this film seriously-the camera work, the acting, the dialogue, the plot. The film has an ambitious reach, trying to tie together the events of 9/11, Wall St greed, and bio-terrorism, but on a budget like they obviously had, nothing seemed to work well. TV news reportage is overused to advance the plot, too many scenes take place in generic office environments, and a very unconvincing fight scene near the end all combine to make for a rather regrettable viewing experience.

I've seen ADP 3 times already and I pick up on new things every time I watch it. The plot is multi-faceted and keeps you engaged the entire movie. I was so engrossed that by the end of the movie, I wanted more! It's not everyday you watch a thriller that seems like it could actually happen in real life, but ADP was able to overcome that barrier and make the plot seem real.Also, it was interesting to see a woman play the lead in a thriller, but Kristen Dalton nailed it! Great watch that will keep you wanting more...I think anyone would enjoy it.

"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.
