Movie Reviews

Moviehole - 9/10 by Clint MorrisOne of the most underrated thrillers of it's time
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertBecause 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.
Newsweek - 8/10 by Jack KrollRelentlessly grim, At Close Range offers a frightening glimpse at the dark side of American life and poses disturbing questions about family ties. Unfortunately, although director James Foley handles the performances with skill, he also indulges in too many flashy directorial pyrotechnics, muting the emotional impact.
Reel Film Reviews - 8/10 by David Nusair...the film's finish is far more grim and bleak than one could possibly have anticipated.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffGeneral audiences will respond to the very strong performances of the two leads, especially Walken in one of his best roles.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonDirector James Foley and screenwriter Nicholas Kazan expertly recreate that part of America that feels like it should exist under a rock with the clammy mud and scurrying insects, and their efforts are supported by an intense performance from Walken.
Chicago Tribune - 6/10 by Gene SiskelAt Close Range is impeccably photographed, and its other technical credits are fine, too. But this excellence serves a dubious, confused cause, and on that basis the film cannot be recommended.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Vincent CanbyAt Close Range is never boring. There's something bold about the film's wealth of imagery, but it also so overstates the material of the screenplay that it eventually annihilates both it and the story, which might possibly have been moving and terrifying. This just looks like fancy movie making.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Sheila BensonIf ever a movie needed a modest, straight-ahead style to its telling, it's this one. And while James Foley's direction (and strong, iconoclastic casting) has resulted in a handful of indelible performances, he can't get out of his own way when it comes to how he tells his story.
eFilmCritic.com - 6/10 by James E. LaczkowskiDisheartening, dark, but very powerful due largely in part to some of the best acting ever portrayed on screen.
