the audience applauded

not horrible nor great

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Watching Danger Close, I would say, is a necessity for anyone interested in the documentary genre. Danger Close is unlike any documentary that I've ever seen in how it is able to capture a soberingly and characteristically unconventional portrayal of war. While most documentaries on the subject of war attempt to capture bloodshed, horror, or grotesque imagery in attempts to seduce an unwitting audience into theaters or unapologetically voice personal political opinions; Danger Close does neither. Danger Close strays away from images of bloodshed to present images of brotherhood. This documentary is undoubtedly one of the few based on the soldiers themselves rather than the fight the soldiers are in. This film gives an inside look at what the real lives of soldiers are like as well as the unfortunate real consequences of war on families and soldiers alike. Danger Close's film style is also extremely influential in how it presents itself to its audience. This film follows award-winning war reporter, Alex Quade, as she travels through Iraq, experiencing life among special forces unit soldiers and follows the aftermath of a family, The Pirelli's, after their son Staff Sgt. Robert Pirelli is killed in action in Iraq. I'd recommend Danger Close to anyone hoping to get a glimpse at what war is really like in the real world rather than what war is like on a television screen.

It is ironic that in a movie peppered with the crackle of the gunfire, the whirring of helicopter blades and the guttural shouts of men, the overall impression once the film fades away, is silence. There is a stillness, after the fighting fades and the dust has settled; there is a void where noise has once been, and it is in this void that Danger Close capitalizes on the true depth of Alex Quade's story. With piquancy and sharpness, directors David Salzberg and Christian Tureaud weave together Quade's journey using raw uncensored footage from the field radically juxtaposed with meditative explorations into the repercussions of life and loss. This film not only manages to capture a soldier's experience but a human one, it explores the stubbornness and vitality of the human spirit in even the most bleak and derelict of places. Showcased in this film is a woman's resilience and dedication, and our inherent ability to survive and thrive in times of peril.

If you're looking for an authentic look into the lives of our troops, Danger Close is the documentary for you. After watching the trailer, I knew it was a documentary that I wanted to see, but also one that I had to see. Danger Close follows freelance reporter Alex Quade as she travels through Afghanistan & Iraqi war zones to tell the story of fallen Green Beret soldier Rob Pirelli. Because there are not many firsthand documentaries out about our troops, Danger Close is important for us as citizens to experience. And while it is important, it is also just a really good documentary. Two scenes that really affected me were the scene with Rob's sister and the scene with the helicopter. Rob's sister accounts her fathers' reunions with Rob at his grave. He would buy two coffees, sit with Rob and drink coffee with him. It was heartbreaking to see what Gold Star families go through after losing a loved one. Another scene that hit me was when Quade watched the helicopter she had almost flown in be shot down. It was shocking to watch and I really got to see how Quade started her journey to tell Rob's story. I recommend this documentary because it had me on the edge of my seat, it's honest, and reminds us of the bravery of our troops.

As a huge film buff, I was incredibly excited to watch Danger Close. I love documentaries of all types, and this one was no exception. The film follows war reporter Alex Quade as she fulfills her task of finding the Iraqi combat outpost that Sargent Rob Pirelli built, and sending footage of it back to his family. Although Pirelli is no longer with us, watching his fellow soldiers and loved ones relive their favorite parts of him made me feel as if I was Rob's friend too. The respect and pride that radiate from everyone when speaking of him show how important he was to both his squadron and the Armed Forces. Not only was the story beautiful and engaging, the footage was equally as stunning. Quade shoots all of her own footage with only a camcorder to her name, yet this lack of equipment makes the experience of watching the film more authentic and familiar. She shows us a soft moment as a soldier kisses a stray dog, and the audience is reminded of the humanity that exists in even the most dangerous of situations. Everything about this documentary is breath- taking, and I truly believe that everyone can find something to love about it.
