Review of At Close Range (1986) by Originaldanger — 13 Jul 2020

At Close Range is a 1986 film which confuses me slightly since I've just watched the film and after the credits rolled it says 1985 so that's strange... Anyway it's a crime movie more than anything and director James Foley made a good job when he directed this.

.. Christopher Walken is kind of unpredictable and scary and rather great in his appearance and Sean Penn is very believable and it's one of his best films along with Carlito's Way and State of Grace..

.. At Close Range see's a lot of people being killed and a few surprises here and there and the story is very great. The acting is faultless and perfect but there's quite a bit of violence in the film which is also great.

A possible rape scene that thank God never gets completed and plenty of criminal stuff going on. Christopher Walken strangely enough plays Sean Penn's dad in the movie but that doesn't ruin the film and it works.

I recommend any moviegoer to view this film because it's great plus it has a great tune by Madonna when the credits roll at the end which is a perfect way to end it. One other thing is At Close Range is based on a true story so check it out.

Also stars Crispin Glover, Stephen Geoffrey's and many others.
