Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan
Vietnam War, 1966. Australia and New Zealand deploy troops to bolster the United States and South Vietnamese in their struggle against the communist North. The soldiers are exceptionally young men—recruits and volunteers who have yet to experience combat. On August 18th, members of Delta Company confront the full horror of a ruthless battle among the trees of the rubber plantation Long Tân. They number barely a hundred. The enemy is a human wave bent on destroying them.

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._
