Storyline

Join Ray Comfort as he shares the gospel with gang members and defense attorneys in what has been called the murder capital of America. Compton, infamous for gang violence, sidewalk assassinations and drive-by shootings, is, according to the FBI, the number one city in the United States for rape, robbery, assault and murder. Its homicide rate is a staggering eight times higher than the national average. In the one city, more than 50 street gangs vie for control of a massive crack cocaine and methamphetamine market. But watch how using the biblical principles taught by The Way of the Master cut through to the consciences of even hardened gang members.

Critics consensus

“Up Close & Personal wastes its superstar leads and compelling fact-inspired story on a treacly romance bereft of onscreen chemistry.”

What Up Close and Personal" is really about is the chemical reaction set off between Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert Redford. In a love story, if your two stars don't click, all is lost. When they do--as they do here--nothing else really matters.

Is it worse as a love story or as a drama about the sorry state of television news? The answer: It's a tie.

This is one of those untaxing time-killers where you spend a lot of time pondering which of its actress's changing hairstyles you like best.

It is an engaging, almost endearing, film with plenty of issues, but none of those problems generate any kind of animus, just a vague sense of disappointment that it wasn’t ever so slightly better.
