In our review of the film<\/a>, we wrote: “You’ll be hooked on Dangerous Animals thanks to Courtney’s superb performance, one of his best to date. From the opening scene, he walks the fine line between charismatic and menacing, dryly funny and chilling.”<\/p>\n

“Killer turns by Harrison and Courtney make the gritty and violent tale a thrilling trip to sea,” opined The AV Club<\/a>, while RogerEbert.com<\/a> dubbed it an “efficient, clever genre mash-up”.<\/p>\n
