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 work as a whole._
