Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan

Action packed from beginning to end. The movie brought you into the battle from the beginning enabling me to relate to the decisions and action. Well worth watching as I am a history buff surrounding strategic battles such as this one.

The Diggers fought in the Vietnam war too, and on the right side!

If you want to watch a possibly somewhat realistic representation of this battle including periods of boredom interspaced with intense repetitive gunfire, colloquial small talk and a chaotic yet meandering plot, it's fine and likely accurate to how it felt when it happened. However it doesn't make for good viewing. This movie like many Australian productions suffers from multiple high school drama student errors from failing to do a proper editors cut and remove many overproduced scenes that add nothing to the story except runtime, to filming in an obviously non-authentic location where they rely on rain and fog machines to try and cover up the vastly different vegetation. Great potential, poor execution.

The movie was great, nothing to complain about,

Early conflict in Vietnam from the perspective of the Australian army. True story with excellent filming and acting.

Just another Western movie about feeling proud they invaded and murdered countless Vietnamese.

Good music and slow motion. Good movie.

Starts off a little bit slow, but its a very good war film about a real life battle that took place in Vietnam.

Positive reviews here convinced me to watch Danger Close. Unfortunately, the reviews seem to conveniently ignore the movie's flaws. And those are quire glaring. Poorly described characters, a setting that doesn't even try to look like anywhere in Asia, bad CGI, terribly orchestrated scenes of death ("stay low, stay low!" [*gets up and takes a hit*])... It's painful to watch the movie to the end.
