Close, an adrenaline-pumping action thriller written and directed by Vicky Jewson (Born of War), is inspired by the life of the world’s leading female bodyguard, Jacquie Davis. The film stars Noomi Rapace as Sam, a counter-terrorist expert used to war zones, who takes on the job of protecting Zoe (Sophie Nélisse), a young and rich heiress — a babysitting job for her. But a violent attempted kidnapping forces the two to go on the run. Now they’ve got to take some lives — or lose theirs.

“Close” comes from writer-director Vicky Jewson, who is probably best known for her films “Lady Godiva” and “Born of War.” And by what is shown in this footage, it appears that the director has crafted a pretty interesting action thriller that is well-above the dreck that you’d probably associate with straight to VOD or streaming films.

Of course, we won’t find out for sure until we can watch “Close” for ourselves. Netflix is set to release the upcoming film on January 18, so plan accordingly.
