Sinopsis(1)
Agosto de 1966, en Vietnam del Sur. Durante más de tres horas y media, bajo una incesante lluvia y peleando contra el barro y los árboles, el comandante Harry Smith y su unidad con 108 soldados inexpertos tratan de hacer frente a un enemigo que supera las 2500 unidades. La munición se agota, aumenta el número de muertos y el enemigo se prepara para lanzar una última ofensiva que el ejército norteamericano tendrá que tratar de parar con honor, decencia y coraje. La batalla de Long Tan fue uno de los enfrentamientos más importantes de la Guerra de Vietnam. (Divisa Home Video)

Travis Fimmel (Ragnar from Vikings) is commanding 108 inexperienced Australian and New Zealand soldiers against an entire Vietnamese battalion, and it's a decent wartime carnage for the first time in a while. After a brief opening, the action hardly lets off the gas and, although it's not a big production, it looks very good, the characters are likeable and the emotions work too, especially at the end. The only that disappointed me a bit is that they didn't have the courage to add gore, there are none of those raw scenes from Hacksaw Ridge, but still it's an engaging and entertaining piece for war movie fans. 75%

It's a shame that the Australians didn't have a chat with the technical advisers of Band of Brothers, as they would surely explain to them what artillery fire or machine gun fire looks like. Especially the slow-motion shots of the flying members of the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese army were quite lame. Otherwise, I have nothing to complain about, the almost two hours just flew by, one action after another and, except for one farewell to Boromir, hardly any pathos.

The umpteenth take on the Vietnam War, this time from the perspective of the Australian military, with the involvement of Australian filmmakers and actors. The visuals are OK, but there is no groundbreaking style of filmmaking to speak of. Danger Close shines with the precision and directorial virtuosity of Mendes (1917), in contrast with a routine editing and limited budget. Fans of war films will watch it, and that’s about it.
