not as good as all the hype

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I saw TAKE at a screening and was very moved by it. Performances by Driver and Renner were excellent. The cinematography was right on. Direction was tight. The whole film worked. Every aspect came together. Looking forward to seeing it again. Films that address this theme are difficult to make. Not to mention watch. I was uncomfortable at times. Uneasy. I found myself questioning things that I would rather not think about. But the filmmaker forged on. Continuing to push the envelope. It is an interesting script. It takes courage to shoot a film like this. I'm glad Oliver and his investors were willing to take the plunge. I hope they are rewarded. There are a lot of films out there not worth seeing. Films that focus on special effects rather than on more interesting matters. This is a character study that makes us look inward to see who we really are. Thanks.

While working at the Tribeca Film Festival, I had the opportunity to see a screening of "Take" and the film was easily one of my favorite movies at the Festival. The story really showed us the depths someone could go to in order to forgive another person. Director Charles Oliver was able to humanize a child abductor, and that's no easy task. And of course, Minnie Driver was phenomenal...the closing scene between her and Jeremy Renner in the prison is both amazing and chilling at the same time. We were truly able to see both forgiveness and deep regret in these two respective characters. I would certainly recommend seeing this movie.

The movie "Take" is definitely a brain teaser type of movie. I went to see it at the "Tribeca Film Festival" and I really enjoyed it. Its very interesting how it only focuses on the two main characters and how it goes into the present and past and then you end up in the future. Its very fascinating because the movie kind of takes you into a journey into the lives of the main characters Saul and Anna as we see what happens the day that everything changed for them. And its interesting just to see how each of their lives are so different, yet the same in a way. The most important part of the movie and probably the biggest lesson of and in real life is forgiveness. Can we forgive that easily? I found it very interesting. I really enjoyed it, the cast and crew did a wonderful job with it.

I too, saw this film at Tribeca. went to see this movie not because of Minnie, but because of Adam Rodriguez. In my opinion, Adam really shone in this film. The film showcased his many talents and proved that he is extremely versatile in any type of media. He played a complicated character whose impact on the main character was strongly felt and made me question faith and forgiveness.In sum, it is an emotionally charged piece that can be difficult to watch. I myself, had to compose myself. However in the end, I was left with a movie that really provoked me to question society and our own actions and the residual effects our actions have on them. Overall, I would definitely recommend this film to others.
