The Big Take

The writer was obviously a fan of Quentin Tarantino. That being said, it doesn't feel like a Tarantino rip-off, but it's own movie. Entertaining throughout, an overall enjoyable watch!

A great low budget movie, but it doesn't show. Excellent performances. A half-assed caper gone completely wrong. The Ska music really moves it along!

This was a pretty straight forward story. A film producers fails miserably at attempting to blackmail a Hollywood actor with a DVD recording of him being with tranny, and that's where the story goes, stays, and ends. It's not a long drawn out journey story, but it does take you on a nice little blackmail extortion ride and brings you to the destination. A little funny, yet serious, kudos to the all the actors making this watchable. This formula that has been done a few times, but for these characters and with this story line, it was decently done. I definitely recommend ....good watch

I had fun watching this movie. I say that as it seems that I'm the only one that thought there was some subtle humor weaved into the story. The Big Take is categorized as a thriller but the plot has some funny moments, what made this movie more than enjoyable to watch. Justin Daly did a good job with this movie, a fluent story with some unexpected elements, a good cast, and an excellent soundtrack (in fact one of the better soundtracks I've heard in a long time). The music (ska, punkrock and metal) is a great addition to this movie, the bands and artists are the ones I listen to all the time. If you're into ska this movie is already worth the watch, you get good music on top of an entertaining story.

It's a little short, but worth a watch. I'm not sure what type of dolt would give this only 1 star.
