Close Range

• Action
• Crime
• Thriller

A gritty, neo-western crime thriller, *Close Range* distinguishes itself through a brutally intimate power dynamic – not a grand showdown between heroes and villains, but a desperate man’s escalating battle to dismantle a system built on localized corruption and familial exploitation. The film relentlessly focuses on the tightening noose around a sister and niece caught in the crossfire of a drug cartel and a sheriff who uses his badge to facilitate their control, forcing a hardened veteran to confront both external threats and the ghosts of his past. Beyond typical action tropes, the narrative pulses with a claustrophobic tension as violence becomes cyclical and personal, portraying a fractured masculinity struggling with protective instincts in a world devoid of easy solutions. It’s a raw exploration of survival defined not by triumph, but by the painful compromises made to secure a fragile safety for those closest to you.
