This movie—for half of CamLin’s money (Rickys) is the best pairing of these two actors. You could say Walken/De Niro in Deer Hunter or Penn/Pacino in Carlito’s Way (oddly, Sean Penn doesn’t have too many great pairings) but, this is the one. And, if you haven’t seen At Close Range, it’s just perfect. Totally perfect for what it is-a 1980’s genre film.
Completely agree. Chris is absolutely amazing and terrifying in this movie (and a young Sean Penn is fantastic). If you haven’t seen it, I can’t recommend it enough. Fantastic clip here.
Love or hate the ‘stache, ‘At Close Range’ is some great Walken-ness.

“[Sean Penn] Really scared me. You can see it on the screen, because he did it very quickly. In the middle of the take, he ran off the set and I heard him say to the propman, ‘Give me the other gun.’ When he came back I was concerned that this wasn’t the gun he had left with. Who knows? He’s acting like some crazy actor and pointing it at my face, and it really scared me. It was near my eye. It was an empty gun - he knew exactly what he was doing. He just wanted to scare me, which is what he did.; I got mad afterward and yelled at him, then I said thank you. It’s great when actors do that for each other. It’s very generous.” — Christopher Walken, Playboy - 1997.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsbvrogvEf1r2lliio1_250.jpg)
