Very Cool!!!

Just perfect...

Great Film overall

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

So glad the Heroes of Valor Collection has become a trilogy! Danger Close has become one of my favorite documentaries. Alex Quade is a freelance war reporter that has dedicated her life to getting up in the action of war. Not only is Quade capturing raw footage with her personal point and shoot camera, she is also on a mission to give back to fallen Staff Sargent Robert Pirelli and his family. Robert Pirelli hand built a combat outpost in the most dangerous part of Iraq and was killed in a firefight with the Al Qaeda. The outpost was eventually named Combat Outpost Pirelli in honor of Robert Pirelli. After Alex Quade was injured in the field she was sent home to get better, while in the states Quade met up with the Pirelli family and they expressed their desire for Quade to make it back to the outpost to see what had become of it. Quade accepted the task and instantly became determined to keep her promise. My favorite part of the movie was seeing the perseverance that Quade exhibits when traveling from different special forces units just to go back to the outpost. The film is an overall touching, feel-good movie. I recommend this to people that want to see a behind the scenes look at what happens overseas, and also people who love giving back to their troops.

Danger Close is a documentary film that is successfully shown from the perspective of award winning war journalist Alex Quade. This film shows her journey and experiences in a war zone working along side highly trained US soldiers. This film cuts from footage of Quade working with different units from all around Iraq and Afghanistan, starting with Quade's close call while on a tactical mission that made her reflect and redirect her journalistic path. Now with the outlook to not just tell the story of the war but of the soldiers as well, little did she know from this Danger Close would be born. When she arrives at Combat Outpost Pirelli, where she had worked in the past, she discovered that a member of a past unit she has worked with, Staff Sergeant Robert Pirelli, had given the ultimate sacrifice. Staff Sergeant Robert Pirelli was a great member of his unit and built most of Combat Outpost Pirelli himself. After being sent home from an injury, Quade went to visit Robert Pirelli's family and saw their longing to see the legacy Rob left behind, Combat Outpost Pirelli. The array of footage of the family and their story pulls at the heartstrings and has a sobering effect on its audience. Because of government restrictions the family wasn't allowed to go to the outpost, moving journalist Alex Quade made a promise to the family to get back overseas to ensure Rob's legacy still stands. The journey to keep this promise is a large part of the film. The film also includes the struggles of both Quade and the soldiers she meets along the way. Having the opportunity to see the perspective of the soldiers on the ground and the trying journey of both them and Alex Quade is a humbling experience. I highly recommend this documentary to anyone looking for a movie with a great journey flowered with key themes of bravery, unity, and courage

If you're looking for an authentic look into the lives of our troops, Danger Close is the documentary for you. After watching the trailer, I knew it was a documentary that I wanted to see, but also one that I had to see. Danger Close follows freelance reporter Alex Quade as she travels through Afghanistan & Iraqi war zones to tell the story of fallen Green Beret soldier Rob Pirelli. Because there are not many firsthand documentaries out about our troops, Danger Close is important for us as citizens to experience. And while it is important, it is also just a really good documentary. Two scenes that really affected me were the scene with Rob's sister and the scene with the helicopter. Rob's sister accounts her fathers' reunions with Rob at his grave. He would buy two coffees, sit with Rob and drink coffee with him. It was heartbreaking to see what Gold Star families go through after losing a loved one. Another scene that hit me was when Quade watched the helicopter she had almost flown in be shot down. It was shocking to watch and I really got to see how Quade started her journey to tell Rob's story. I recommend this documentary because it had me on the edge of my seat, it's honest, and reminds us of the bravery of our troops.

As a huge film buff, I was incredibly excited to watch Danger Close. I love documentaries of all types, and this one was no exception. The film follows war reporter Alex Quade as she fulfills her task of finding the Iraqi combat outpost that Sargent Rob Pirelli built, and sending footage of it back to his family. Although Pirelli is no longer with us, watching his fellow soldiers and loved ones relive their favorite parts of him made me feel as if I was Rob's friend too. The respect and pride that radiate from everyone when speaking of him show how important he was to both his squadron and the Armed Forces. Not only was the story beautiful and engaging, the footage was equally as stunning. Quade shoots all of her own footage with only a camcorder to her name, yet this lack of equipment makes the experience of watching the film more authentic and familiar. She shows us a soft moment as a soldier kisses a stray dog, and the audience is reminded of the humanity that exists in even the most dangerous of situations. Everything about this documentary is breath- taking, and I truly believe that everyone can find something to love about it.
