Gabriela Dipico (gabidopico) 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.

Amanda Nasc As a film fan, Danger Close quickly absorbed me into a dynamic cinematic experience in which award-winning journalist Alex Quade conceives through her passionate filmmaking style. Her amateur cinematography techniques design an extremely real and visceral setting for this documentary that tells a story of fallen Green Beret soldier Rob Pirelli. Quade goes to great lengths to fulfill the wishes of his family and offers closure of their lost loved one. The film exudes an emotional and authentic perception of Quade's journey in an astute and riveting way. Learning about the life of a young, fallen soldier's heartfelt story of bravery and valor gives the story line depth and clarity of the true heroism behind our military troops. Journalist Alex Quade developed a perfect balance of suspense and authenticity that absorbs you into an uncensored look at both the accomplishments of Rob Pirelli and a glimpse into the real daily lives of our men and women who serve for our country with powerful footage of actual events that happened during war in Iraq. If you're looking for an alluring and engaging film about family, unity and legacy; Danger Close is for you.

Justin Anderson Danger Close is the exciting, new addition to directors David Salzberg and Christian Tureaud's Heroes of Valor Collection. In the documentary, they join forces with award-winning, military journalist Alex Quade to present an uncensored look at her journey across Iraq to return to Combat Outpost Pirelli. Quade shows amazing perseverance and bravery, jumping from unit to unit to reach her destination and uphold her promise to fallen soldier Rob Pirelli's family to make sure his legacy is preserved. Edited from hours of Quade's own point-and-shoot footage, Danger Close shows real special forces units on combat missions in Iraq. The raw footage combined with interviews with Pirelli's family, former team members and Quade herself paints a more humane image of military life than is common in film. Standout editing allows the filmmakers to pull this off. The mission footage, which even includes cell phone footage taken by the Taliban, can be heart-pounding and nerve-racking at times while the interviews offer more empathetic and sentimental moments. Taken together, Danger Close becomes an honest and moving picture of what honor, legacy and sacrifice really looks like. Quade's footage is impressive, the story is touching and it all works to make a unique experience. I recommend Danger Close to fans of the directors' previous documentaries, The Hornet's Nest and Citizen Soldier, or military documentaries in general as well as anyone interested in a film that digs deep into the human experience.

Isaac Landry Danger Close, directed by David Salzberg and Christian Tureaud, is a military documentary film that captures the sense of courage and brotherhood that Special Operation Forces share while deployed on the front lines. This film follows Alex Quade, a highly decorated freelance reporter and documentary filmmaker, as she becomes embedded with Special Forces units and Conventional Forces in order to capture the inspiring story of Staff Sgt. Robert Pirelli and the legacy that he left behind. Robert Pirelli, a combat engineer, built combat outpost Pirelli located in Iraq, however, later lost his life in a firefight against Al Qaeda insurgents during a combat mission. As a result, Alex Quade vowed to tell his inspiring story in order to bring closure for the Pirelli family and highlight the legacy that he left behind. Shot in a point & shoot style, this film grants unprecedented access to the life that Special Forces soldiers live and the day to day challenges that they must overcome while on the battle field. The film lasts 90 minutes, however, the raw and heart-warming emotions that you'll feel will last long after you've watched this authentic and visceral film.
