This review is from: Dangerous Passion (DVD)
Some years ago I bought a video cassette of this movie and I never forgot it - I think mainly because of Lonette McKee's interesting performance. The story line comes right out of the film noir tradition. Carl Weathers plays a character which would have been a typical part for Robert Mitchum some 45 years earlier: a confused and badly treated employee of a rich immoral guy with a beautiful wife. I see elements here of movies like Out of the Past, The Chase or Where Danger Lives. And Weathers really delivers. He is rather shy and reticent and seems to present what bad stuff is going to happen - but hasn't got the power to do anything against it. Contrary to Mitchum in similar parts he does not show a cool detachment but comes through as a feeling human being. He "elopes" with his boss's wife and the stations of their desparate flight are very well filmed. In the end there is a car chase and a revenge binge. They don't really fit into the story and are the only reason why I don't want to give Danerous Passion five stars.
A last word about Lonette McKee. She shows a first rate performance in this movie as the abused wife. Disoriented, warm, sexy but most of the time a pain in the a... Her acting at times reminded me of Barbara Stanwyck. I really like these movies which do not let you expect too much and then reveal themselves to be interesting stuff and pleasant to watch.
