Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 05/01/2017
Danger Close provides a vivid portrait of combat and its emotional and physical aftermath. Go to Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 04/27/2017
Ultimately, neither narrative receives sufficient attention, robbing the subjects and that unique p.o.v. of the focus and urgency that lent the previous two films their undeniable potency. Go to Full Review Serena Donadoni Village Voice 04/26/2017
By focusing on Quade's absolute respect for military service and authority, Salzberg and Tureaud miss an opportunity to explore her pragmatic conservatism, lyrically expressed in her profiles of unquestioning heroism. Go to Full Review Dan Schindel Paste Magazine 05/18/2017
3/10
Danger Close fetes veterans less than it does Quade, who gets to talk herself up, often in an unseemly manner, coming across as braggadocios about her own bravery even as she pays lip service to the solemnity of her job. Go to Full Review Frank Lovece Film Journal International 04/27/2017
Alex Quade is a great combat reporter, no question. How great a documentary producer she is is a separate thing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

george m 12/29/2021 Very good. It shows the bravery, commitment and honor of the forces in Afghanistan. I can believe the reporter went over and lived with those guys. See more 07/24/2020 Reporter embeds with ODA. Gets hurt hopping off a HMMWV. Becomes a liability. Goes home. Climbs a mountain. Returns to Iraq. This whole doc is more or less a "look at how brave I am" by some reporter who circled it around a SF Group to gain relevancy. See more 10/21/2019 If the “experts” give it a low score it’s a good movie! See more 09/01/2017 Not nearly as good as others. War reporter woman stupid as fuck. Shows fallen comrade and mostly raids. Not as powerful See more 07/18/2017 This movie was very moving and has a lot of action. I enjoyed it! See more 06/07/2017 Danger Close, the latest in the Heroes of Valor collection, follows freelance reporter Alex Quade as she tells the story of fallen Green Beret Rob Pirelli. Through all of the self-shot footage, Quade does a great job showing the authentic experiences and bravery of our troops while deployed. Out of every movie I have ever seen, this has taught me the most about what our selfless soldiers go through. Having loved this documentary, I recommend it to those who want to support and learn about what our soldiers do.  See more Read all reviews
