Amazon.co.uk Review

One of the overlooked films of the 1980s, perhaps because it is such a downbeat tale of an amoral family. Sean Penn plays a kid whose small-time criminal impulses are stoked to a new level when he falls in with his father (Christopher Walken), a vicious career criminal for whom no problem is so large that it can't be solved by a murder. At first exhilarated by the attention from his father (and the jobs he gives him to do), he gradually catches on to just what a bad guy Dad really is. But when he tries to extricate himself, he discovers that Dad now has him squarely in his sights. Penn is terrific in a role of emotional complexity, while Walken, king of the creeps, is positively frightening as this soft-spoken but highly lethal patriarch. --Marshall Fine


DVD Description

Based on a real life series of murders in 1970’s Pennsylvania, AT CLOSE RANGE is a chilling portrayal of a family’s life of crime.

5.0 out of 5 stars A SHOCKING FAMILY DRAMA!, 20 Feb 2007
By CAPTAIN HABZ! (LONDON United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is a very good family crime drama. the film has extremely shocking moments which will surprise viewers. the film is about a family where the parents are divorced and one of the sons doesnt enjoy his life situations and turns to his dad for help. his dad is a classy criminal and thief but brad jr doenst know. his dad tells him: 'you want in then theres no way out' things go wrong and the emotion builds up throughout the film. this is highly recommended if you enjoy thriller and crime made with originality with faint comedy between some of the cast. it includes stephen geoffreys and kiefer sutherland as solemates of sean penn. enjoy!!!

By A Customer
Dont believe the other review, this film is a classic, Walken is brilliant in it and so is penn. The ending is very shocking and so is the whole film from end to start. Buy this film now, because it rules, trust me!

2.0 out of 5 stars Charisma driven drama, 22 Dec 2003
By Mr. S. Fowler "StevenFowler" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: At Close Range [VHS] [1986] (VHS Tape)
Not a classic, At Close Range is a solid film, worth looking at for the searing performance of christopher Walken. Penn's performance reflects the script and direction of the entire movie, it's intelligent, heated but by no means inspiring. However the star power and charisma of Wlaken pours off the screen. No gem, but by no means a bad film.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sad, murderous movie with an excellent performance by Christopher Walken
If this movie weren't so good, it would be unbearable. As it is, it's good enough to overcome a slow pace and a plot so depressing you might ask yourself, "Why am I still... Read more
