‘Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan’ MOVIE REVIEW: Aussie War Film is Tense, Respectful, and Familiar
A tense, well-acted war film, even if it sits too comfortably among similar cinematic works that have come before it…
A tense, well-acted war film, even if it sits too comfortably among similar cinematic works that have come before it…
A simple, connect-the-dots action comedy that just gets over the line of passable thanks to its leads.
Schools should include it in their syllabus, rising filmmakers should study it and sc-fi fans need to re/discover it…
From gang life on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, to Hitler’s final days in his Berlin bunker…
From actors turned directors, to racially charged drama, to an acclaimed Marvel entry…
Landis’ only other horror film apart from ‘An American Werewolf in London’ needs reconsideration from cinephiles.
If the old-school, gung-ho earnestness doesn’t engage you much, the strong combat sequences just may.
Take a breath, dive in, and enjoy some very fine cinema.
It’s damn near perfect.
