Along with the US, other nations also had a tumultuous time in Vietnam.
This is about a stand off between one platoon of Aussie and Kiwi soldiers against a battalion force of North Vietnamese VCs.
The character development is amateurish and the editing, of non action scenes, is below the mark.
The battle scenes are a different story altogether. Running for almost 75 minutes out of the 105 minute runtime, these are intense, gory, thrilling with men on both sides being blown to smithereens, in their attempts to lay claim to the land. _Danger Close_ in the title comes from an artillery term, which means that the enemy is mortally close and the shell launch has to be calibrated carefully.
Their ferocity surprised me and made me forget the passage of time, for many moments.
Recommended, for fans of action / war movies.
