Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times The conclusion hatched by Adkins' frequent collaborator, director Isaac Florentine, is as inevitable as the film's basic-cable destiny. Dec 10, 2015 Full Review Nick Schager Village Voice It's as unsubtle as a boot to the head, but its dour-and-campy lo-fi style is far preferable to the spastic flash of its big-budget genre compatriots. Nov 24, 2015 Full Review Dominic Griffin Spectrum Culture Close Range is less a movie and more a feature length demo reel for star Scott Adkins. Rated: 2/5 Jul 17, 2019 Full Review Ed Travis Cinapse Sometimes directors and stars have a magic chemistry that can't be denied; cinematic pairings that seem destined. Now... we can add Isaac Florentine and Scott Adkins to that list. Jan 27, 2019 Full Review John Noonan FILMINK (Australia) Whilst Close Range doesn't reach dizzying heights of B-movie madness, there's still a lot of fun to be had. Mar 10, 2016 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Once Adkins and Florentine get their engines rumbling, "Close Range" manages to deliver some compelling combat sequences, blasting, kicking, and stabbing its way through a southwestern war zone. Rated: B- Dec 10, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Who K At least this better was then Expendables 4 a Nowhere to Run remake with Scott Adkins standing in for JCVD Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Audience Member You know when Scott Adkins teams with Isaac Florentine that the result will be a fun, watchable film filled with decent action. Without Scott Adkins this would be a lot less appealing and enjoyable; however, it does have Scott so the end result is pretty good. Guy with a past protects family from villainous assassins as the catalyst for an exciting climax. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review corkball The best way to say this is 'arthouse action' - something like that. Adkins appears to be some sort of martial arts guy, so every time he tries to shoot someone, his gun jams, so he has to take out his knife, ninja kick the guy, then stab him in the neck. I guess if you like watching choreographed fight scenes, you might like this film, but in all other aspects, the flick is super cheesy. If you want to see the SAME movie done better, watch 'Rambo Last Blood' - the plot is identical, although points to Close Range - it came first. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Close range is not one of the best Scott Adkins movies out there but it delivers what you expect. Plenty of action, Scott Adkins kicking butt, and a fairly short run time. Most of the characters are all one dimensional the plot is thin as pie and predictable but if you just want to see some mindless action and Scott kicking butt it delivers. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/21 Full Review Audience Member The depressingly familiar formula of Scott Adkins first rate action sequences married to a third rate script. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Late R Well, I regretted putting this on after about 2 minutes. Cliché in every way, there is literally nothing memorable about this film other than the fact that it's so bad I spent a large portion of the movie supressing a laugh. The guy is an ex-soldier whose name is Colt MacReady, for crying out loud. Is this a parody of cheesy martial arts/action movies? If you're a fan of the genre, it's attempts like this that'll make you very, very glad that films like 'The Raid: Redemption' and 'The Raid 2' exist. If you haven't seen one or either of those, I cannot recommend enough that you watch them instead. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/17 Full Review Read all reviews
