The Film Jury returns to the courtroom of cinema for its second case: Dangerous Animals (2025) — a dark psychological thriller that slithers between ambition, obsession, and survival. Hosts James Patrick, Meagan Jones, and Denise Black sink their teeth into the film's moral tension, unpredictable twists, and slow-burn performances to determine whether this creature of a movie is a predator or just all bark.

Written and directed by David Farr, Dangerous Animals stars David Dastmalchian, Katie Leung, and Tuppence Middleton in a tense story of a journalist drawn into a deadly web while investigating an enigmatic tech billionaire. The hosts explore the film's sharp social commentary, striking cinematography, and unnerving tone that blends corporate satire with primal suspense.

From its layered character work to its shocking third act, the panel debates: does Dangerous Animals truly bare its fangs, or does it play too safe?

The Verdict: 9/15 Gavels

• Meagan Jones — 3/5 Gavels

• Denise Black — 3/5 Gavels

• James Patrick — 3/5 Gavels:
