\\nAt Close Range \\xa0is an incredibly good movie.\\xa0 It\\u2019s from 1986 and I found it on Amazon Prime, as well as Tubi which is a free streaming service and it looks like it is available on Showtime as well, although I currently don\\u2019t have that one.
\\nIt has a star studded cast including:
\\nSean Penn, Mary Stuart Masterson, Chris Penn, Christopher Walken, Crispin Glover and Kiefer Sutherland.
\\nIt is an excellent movie all on it\\u2019s own. One of the reviews I read said \\u201cI recommend this movie to anyone and everyone.\\u201d
\\nThis is one of the few old true crime movies that I hadn\\u2019t seen, and hadn\\u2019t heard about the case before watching.\\xa0 I\\u2019m not kidding when I say that there were at least two parts that had me absolutely speechless.\\xa0 Like jaw dropping.
\\nI was so blown away by this movie that I decided to move it up in the recording schedule.
\\nThe movie starts out with the words:\\xa0 Based on a True Story.
\\nAnd I\\u2019m going to tell you\\u2026.this movie follows so close to the real story\\u2026it\\u2019s one of the closest to the real stories I\\u2019ve ever seen.\\xa0 So, I\\u2019ll tell you about the movie which is just about the whole real story, and then at the end I\\u2019ll tell you about the bits that were included just for the movie, and I\\u2019ll go over what really happened in those instances.
