In this thriller, Rob Lowe is a prison inmate who hears more than he was meant to when the convict in the next cell is murdered. The inmate discovers that the murder is just one of a series of killings meant to thin out the inmate population, with the guards working in collusion with members of a victims' rights group seeking their own brand of justice against criminals who escape the death penalty. Proximity also stars James Coburn, Fred Ward, and Jonathan Banks; it was the first feature from Zinc Pictures, a company formed by noted producer Joel Silver to produce quality low-budget films. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Scott Ziehl directed Rob Lowe in the thriller Proximity, which comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround, while a Spanish soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. Subtitles are accessible in both of those languages as well. The supplemental materials include cast and crew filmographies. No matter what one thinks of the film, this is a fine-looking and sounding disc, although the high list price may put some people off. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
