About

You’ll likely like Danger Close if you want an intense Vietnam War story with a strong tribute feel and heavy tension from start to finish; Not for you if you dislike harsh war realism, or if you need strong character-driven drama like The Last Full Measure or Casualties of War.

Pros: gripping frontline focus; respectful ANZAC tribute; realistic intensity | Cons: uneven dialogue/acting; battle depiction complaints; some credibility issues
