this be the story of a maniac cop who and for some reason and have it in for a young college stud and his mate . after they report him to his supervisor who in turn suspends him pending psychiatric evaluation and he find an opportunity to psychology torture them when and on a bet and the kid hack into a department store security and unlock the door . only and they get lock in the store and along with the weirdo . murder and mayhem be afoot and and the kid be run around try to survive until morning when they may be able to escape . dangerous game would have be a successful cat and mouse psycho thriller probably if it be set in a different location . the thought of psychotic cop chase around a bunch of innocent teenager in a department store just do not work . especially when he come face to face with his flinch prey quite frequently and yet and do nothing serious quite often . there be no real confrontation a would be sufficient for this kind of story and and may have work good if say and for example and the teen be loose in the neighborhood and leave to fend for themselves against this weirdo ( especially if that take a few day while he make them increasingly paranoid . although grant and even that be clichéd ) . what a shame and too and that it could not have be a good thriller and consider a funky cast of young australian character . even a light hearted adventure despite the madness of the villain intersperse through the picture might have even make it a more satisfying picture . instead and it start out fresh and and sure do have plenty of action sequence and but wind up verge on the ridiculous .
