Synopsis
Sam is the world's toughest female bodyguard, tasked with protecting high profile targets for terrorism and assassination. She fought her way to the top in a man's world and feels more at home in the war zones of Sudan than back at her L.A. apartment. When she's assigned to protect a VIP in Morocco, she thinks she's in for a quick and easy job. That VIP turns out to be Zoe, a young and very rich heiress who's never left her bubble of wealth and who isn't keen on being babysat. Sam can take a bullet for a president, but young privileged girls aren't her specialty - especially a spoiled one. When Zoe's bulletproof, secluded compound comes under attack in an explosive kidnapping attempt, Sam's skills are put to the test. Accused of murder themselves, they must find a way to work together, determined to hunt the attackers and their corrupt employers.

The Equalizess. very cool that women can finally have their own boring, vaguely racist DTV revenge action movies too.
Josh LewisJan 17, 2019Vicky Jewson’s “Close” transparently aspires to be something of a female riff on Jason Bourne. However, shot in only 29 days — and with a fraction of the budget for an average Hollywood blockbuster — it feels more like a proof-of-concept for an idea that the film industry…
davidehrlichJan 21, 2019The opening credits tease something a bit more Bond-ish than this is really after, but it's still a satisfyingly terse character piece peppered with brief bursts of violence.

noomi rapace's back must be sore from carrying this entire film
dale 🍿Apr 5, 2026A counter-terrorism expert takes a job protecting a young heiress. After an attempted kidnapping puts both of their lives in danger, they must flee. Last week on the same day I watched my first Vicky Jewson film with the very entertaining Pretty Lethal and wanted to watch…
WestyMovieCryptFeb 2, 2019The movie had a strong start that going downhill throughout its runtime. Good acting by Noomi and Sophie, doing their best with the script that could have been a lot better. Thin story with a lot of gaps.

........but no cigar.
GroovemanJan 20, 2019What a waste of a good actress.
Rafaela Teixeira 🌈Sep 20, 2020Noomi Rapace (Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan) is a badass, pure and simple. And in Close she does it again, playing battle-hardened bodyguard Sam Carlson. Sam, is all business, hired to protect a spoiled mining heiress played by the Sophie Nélisse…

it was alright ig but the premise made no sense to me. so the other company tried to kill zoe…and why? it would have gone to rima, then they tried to back out of the deal? for what reason? why? just confused so if someone can help maybe— 4.5/10
Rohan lovedCloseSomething about this I really liked. The supporting cast were a little weak, the storyline a little predictable but it kept me captivated for some reason. 8/10
akaSusanJane likedCloseThis was pretty good. Although I felt a little letdown by the ending, the action was great. The acting was great. I’m still a little confused.

It’s disposable action entertainment – a throw-away title that’s not bad enough to turn off but not good enough to seek out.

In its first act, Close is a competent thriller, buoyed by early action sequences from director Vicky Jewson and some really solid scene transitions that point toward a strong style. However, as the film goes on, it switches from the precision of a sniper rifle to the scattershot effect of a drunk-wielded machine gun.

Written, directed and produced by Vicky Jewson, Close works well when it sticks to the distinctive personal details of this kind of job; but it too often defaults to a run-of-the-mill international thriller.
