| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDanger Close provides a vivid portrait of combat and its emotional and physical aftermath. But despite its harrowing footage and moving elements, the film may feel all too familiar to viewers who have become numb in the face of seemingly countless other similar efforts. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenUltimately, neither narrative receives sufficient attention, robbing the subjects and that unique p.o.v. of the focus and urgency that lent the previous two films their undeniable potency. |
| Village VoiceSerena DonadoniBy focusing on Quade’s absolute respect for military service and authority, Salzberg and Tureaud miss an opportunity to explore her pragmatic conservatism, lyrically expressed in her profiles of unquestioning heroism. |
| Paste MagazineDan SchindelDanger Close fetes veterans less than it does Quade, who gets to talk herself up, often in an unseemly manner, coming across as braggadocios about her own bravery even as she pays lip service to the solemnity of her job. |
| User Reviewmike GVery cool to see to some of the real special ops footage. Also, I really enjoyed learning about Rob Perilli, the fallen green beret and how his family was able to get closure from Alex Quade's mission. |
| User Reviewdavid sFormer Secretary of Defense Robert Gates had this to say about the film: "'Danger Close' is a gripping story of courage, loss and love as we witness first-hand graphic portrayals of combat operations and a dedicated journalist's determination to bring closure to the family of a soldier killed in action. The courage of the troops in action -- and of the embedded journalist -- is evident, as is the deep sense of loss over an admired comrade. The story is a needed reminder of the many sacrifices of our men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the brave journalists who accompanied them into battle |

Robert Pirelli, and the legacy that he left behind. Through raw footage and unprecedented access, Alex Quade reports the heroic and brave missions that our service men and women conduct while on the front lines of battle. From nail biting search and rescue missions, to the heartwarming accounts of Pirelli's family members, this documentary is filled with inspiration and courage. I highly recommend this film to anyone in search of a new and insightful documentary to watch this year. |
| User ReviewChristopher OAn emotional and compelling story of how the front-lines of battle impact the their families and loved ones, and the inspiring will to memorialize the heroic efforts a fallen hero. A must-watch 3rd film from the 'Heroes of Valor Collection' (Citizen Soldier / The Hornet's Nest). |
