Review of At Close Range (1986) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 07 Jun 2003
Because this film is violent and cruel and very sad, why would you want to see it? For a couple of reasons, perhaps. One might be to watch two great actors, Penn and Walken, at the top of their forms in roles that give them a lot to work with.
Another might be to witness some of the dynamics of a criminal society, some of the forces that push criminals further than they intend to go.
