Review of The Take

The Take (2007)
8/10
An overdone "shooting" style saved by great acting.

Warning: Spoilers
Despite the (unoriginal) shooting style and some "cliche" dialogue this was a very intense and entertaining piece of work. Because of the fine acting I was able to forgive some of the technical issues and poor choices of direction. John Leguizamo was at his best, as was Tyrese Gibson! Bobby Cannavale and Rosie Perez were also very good. All the acting was on point and "in the moment". Watch out for Matthew Hatchette, this was only his second movie, something tells me this guy will be huge. Definitely an "actor's" movie! Although it's not showing in abundance at cinemas, it is the type of movie that will do well in rentals. Go See it!
