Dangerous Seventeen

About This Movie

So, 'Dangerous Seventeen' is kind of a curiosity, you know? It has this gritty, early '80s vibe that really captures the essence of that era's indie filmmaking. The pacing is somewhat erratic but fits well with the raw, off-kilter performances from the cast. You can feel the tension in the atmosphere, and the practical effects—while not groundbreaking—add a realness to those moments that make you appreciate the craft behind them. The themes of rebellion and youth are explored with a sort of reckless abandon, and it leaves you thinking long after it ends. It's one of those gems that you might find yourself surprisingly invested in, despite its flaws.

Dangerous Seventeen has had a bit of a rough history regarding availability; it’s not the easiest to track down on physical media. There aren’t many prints, which adds to its allure among collectors. While it doesn't have the same level of notoriety as some contemporaries, those who appreciate obscure films from this era often find themselves drawn to it. It’s worth keeping an eye out for any special releases or screenings, as they tend to be few and far between.
