Reviews:

I don’t at all dislike War films, but they’re also not of a genre that is particularly close to my heart. Danger Close didn’t do anything for me that changed that, but, if you’re a fan, and are interested in the ever-elusive “Anything other than the Yanks in WWII/Vietnam or the Brits in WWI/WWII”, you could do a lot worse than give _Danger Close_ a chance, but if you’re looking for strong characterisation, you could do better too.

_Final rating:★★½ – Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

‘Danger Close’ is an epic recount of the Battle of Long Tan with no Hollywood exaggerations, no excuses for narrative cuts, and no colourful tie-ins. Kriv Stenders has created a film that explores inherit Australian values, history and entertainment – whilst encapsulating friendship, and a modernised respect to the ANZACs.

The battle of surviving an onslaught…
Australia has its own Steven Soderberg and Michael Winterbottom in Kriv Stenders. A director always on the go, taking on any genre from low to high budget and from art house to commercial hits. In Danger Close, (the battle of Long Tan during the Vietnam War), he creates a war film that plays on many levels, and this is my short twisted take on it, (with possibly some minor spoilers).

I felt like I was one of the soldiers in this battle because from the word go you are thrown into the chaos that is relentless, feeling the intensity that the soldiers had to endure. Yeah, I know I was in the comfort of the cinema, but the movie took over my senses with the haunting battle sounds, confronting images of impeding death and performances that drew you into the characters heart of darkness moment.

There were no laborious introduction scenes to characters outside the battle. The scriptwriters were clever enough to develop the characters during the lead up and the battle itself. Along the way they added small character revelations that made them humane and fragile. The most important factor was TRUST. Without it you would not follow your commander into battle. For Major Harry Smith it was trust that he had to gain from his young troops who at certain times had their doubts. Even trust of the artillery in the backline, firing heavy rounds that sometimes got to “danger close”. But what I admired the most was the stance that some of the officers took in defying orders from above. Part of the larrikin Aussie attitude that saved many a life in the battle of Long Tan. (If only today we took that same ballsy attitude against certain politicians and their dumb ideas then this could be a better world.)

Hearing Travis Fimmel with an Aussie accent was a treat. Cast perfectly as Major Harry Smith, the unassuming hero of this brutal battle. And whenever Daniel Webber (Private Paul Large) came up on screen, I couldn’t help but think of Sam Bottoms who played Lance in Apocalypse Now. Same demeanour (without being stoned!) and they almost came off as twins.

A top Australian production on all levels that is worth seeing on a decent large screen with big sound.

Historically Accurate record of the Battle of Long Tan
As a retired Australian Army Officer who trained for the type of battle depicted in this story and having been trained by several of those depicted in this movie, I found Danger Close to be both technically and historically correct. Any student of the Battle of Long Tan will relate to this film. It takes you there and makes one feel that they are really at the scene of the battle. I was impressed by how the film portrayed several incidents which actually happened. While this is a dramatisation I found that it was handled well. It gives one the sense of understanding of what actually happened. This is a landmark production for Australia. It is a film that tells the story, a story which many Australians have heard about but don’t understand. I came away feeling deeply moved and will be going back to see it again. I highly recommend it. Truly a story that has to be seen.
