At Close Range

Released 1986
Stars Sean Penn, Christopher Walken, Mary Stuart Masterson, Christopher Penn, Millie Perkins
Directed by James Foley

Brooding, but curiously unmoving, story about teenage half-brothers who first get to know their no-account father, and come to realize what a dangerous person he is. Downbeat drama is marked by good acting, thoughtful filmmaking, but emotional impact is muted. Based on a true incident.

Summary by Leonard Maltin
