Critics Consensus

Close puts a welcome female-fronted spin on the prototypical action thriller; unfortunately, the rest of the movie's ingredients are tediously predictable.

Audience Member

Its clearly tired premise and usually soulless performances make this action flick neither an entertaining distraction from the genre's best nor anything you'd want to tell your friends about.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Excellent depiction of current events around the world. Do not judge this movie unless you've been there.

I loved this movie. It had lots of action and Naomi Rapace was terrific as the lead. You will not be disappointed if you enjoy thrillers.

Emilliano Jr S

Looks like an 80's low budget action movie. The end twist does not have an impact without knowing who's the real villain is.

Real H

All the women have the best intentions and always win, and none of the men are even half way competent and eventually die. Once you realize this, it's so one-dimensional and predictable, it's laughable.

Noomi Rapace is a badass bodyguard in Netflix's Close, but the movie's low-key racism counteracts its 'Yay, strong women!' message.

Polygon

Close isn't so much an emotional puzzle to be solved as it is a box for Rapace to fight her way out of. But there isn't enough space for the most interesting commentary to flourish.

Close feels like many of the numerous direct-to-DVD titles that were prevalent during the 2000s.

This a straight-out action thriller and... I would say not one of the better ones.

Cultured Vultures

The clever use of sound and a gripping performance from Rapace almost redeem it, but a weak script and an anti-climatic finale lets down what could have been a very promising film.

Vague Visages

Netflix's Close is an action film that succeeds in crafting authentic female characters.
