In 1994, the action-packed thriller A Dangerous Place was released starring Ted Jan Roberts, Corey Feldman, and Mako. The movie is set in Los Angeles and follows the story of a top-tier diver, Tommy Taylor (Ted Jan Roberts), who finds himself embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse after witnessing a murder. The film starts with Tommy leaving his home on his motorcycle and heading to the local beach where he performs his world-class diving skills. Everything seems to be going well until he witnesses a murder take place right before his eyes. The victim is a business executive who had been working with a local gang in Los Angeles. The gang, known as 'The Family', has a tight grip on the city and doesn't take kindly to outsiders meddling in their affairs.

Tommy quickly becomes the only witness to the crime and is subsequently hunted down by the gangsters. He seeks help from his friends, including his best friend and coach, who is played by Corey Feldman. The two work together to try and evade the gang, but it's apparent that they are closing in fast.

As the movie progresses, Tommy learns that the murder he witnessed is just the tip of the iceberg. The Family is involved in all manner of illegal activities, including drug trafficking and extortion. At the same time, he begins to develop feelings for a beautiful young woman who seems to be mixed up with the gang but is trying to leave her life behind.

As Tommy and his friends try to navigate the dangerous world of Los Angeles gang violence, they must also contend with a corrupt police force that is in cahoots with the mob. It quickly becomes clear that Tommy is the only person who can put a stop to The Family's criminal empire, but doing so will require him to put everything on the line - including his own life.

One of the most significant selling points of A Dangerous Place is the impressive stunts and action sequences that are peppered throughout the movie. Ted Jan Roberts's diving skills are put to good use, and the film takes full advantage of the beautiful California landscapes.

The acting in the film is reasonable, with Ted Jan Roberts giving a convincing performance as Tommy, the brave diver caught up in something much bigger than he anticipated. Corey Feldman provides a good foil to Roberts, bringing some humor and levity to the movie's darker moments. Mako is also a standout as the wise and experienced ex-cop who helps Tommy and his friends navigate the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles.

The movie's pacing is also a strong point, with director Jerry P. Jacobs doing an excellent job of maintaining a breakneck speed throughout the film. There's never a dull moment, with action and suspense around every corner.

Of course, it's important to note that the movie was made in the mid-90s and has a distinctly dated feel to it. The clothes, hairstyles, and soundtrack all scream "90s," which may be off-putting for some viewers. However, for those who can overlook the fashion choices of the era, A Dangerous Place is a fun and exciting thriller that delivers on its promises.

All in all, A Dangerous Place is an entertaining action movie that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end. With impressive stunts, solid performances, and plenty of suspense, it's a film that is definitely worth a watch.

A Dangerous Place is a 1994 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 36 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.3.
