    One of the excellent things about the movie Danger Close is at the end it not only lists those who were killed but their ages. And bloody hell. Barely one above 21

    The only known appearance in media is in the Australian Vietnam war movie “Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan” which used to be on Amazon and is absolutely worth a watch.

    I did enjoy Danger Close, a well made big budget spectacle. Another excellent war film was Beneath Hill 60. I’m going to have to revisit both of those soon as it’s been a little while

    The Battle of Long Tan is a great book. I think I read it after watching The Odd Angry Shot. I had the 1990 UK paperback...not sure where it is now! I didn't really like the film Danger Close - can't remember why. Probably coz it didn't have Bryan Brown in it😂

    My late father spoke highly of the Australian soldiers he met in Vietnam. He said they were the nicest people he met over there. Who knew those same men would later face an ordeal depicted in the film Danger Close. youtu.be/OIUk4bA9tjM?...

    Shout out to any Vietnam War film (Danger Close) that has troops spiking beer cans and drinking though the hole.

    Shout out to all my #podcast people!! I am hoping to move the podcast I'm on, Danger Close: A War Film podcast, to having a professional editor. Any advice on going from self edited to having a professional handle it? Do you still do your own clips? Give lots of notes?

    I remember when I was a child his story about meeting the small Australian brigade sent to Vietnam as being the nicest people he had met during the war. Little did he know those same men would come under attack at Long Tan a month later that became a movie Danger Close.

    I highly recommend Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan if you guys ever want a good Vietnam movie. It’s seriously one of the finest movies ever made in my opinion.

    I don't at all dislike War films, but they're also not of a genre that is particularly close to my heart. Danger Close didn't do anything for me that changed that, but, if you're a fan, and are interested in the ever-elusive "Anything other than the Yanks in WWII/Vietnam or the Brits in WWI/WWII", you could do a lot worse than give Danger Close a chance, but if you're looking for strong characterisation, you could do better too. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite…

    ‘Danger Close’ is an epic recount of the Battle of Long Tan with no Hollywood exaggerations, no excuses for narrative cuts, and no colourful tie-ins. Kriv Stenders has created a film that explores inherit Australian values, history and entertainment – whilst encapsulating friendship, and a modernised respect to the ANZACs. - Lily Meek Read Lily's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-danger-close-the-battle-of-long-tan-close-to-home Head to…
