Take Me

This was a really fun watch. It was quite unpredictable imo. I wasn't expecting much due to its mediocre rating on Netflix, but I was pleasantly surprised at how entertaining it was. The acting was there and its unlike any other movie. It was also an interesting take on what the people who ask for and perform staged kidnapping might be like.

The story is about Ray who simulates 8 hour kidnappings for paying customers. One customer offers to pay extra to be "kidnapped" for the whole weekend. It goes horribly wrong.

I personally thought it was a good film that grabbed my attention from the beginning and held it. There was maybe 15mins that could been cut from it but overall I enjoyed. There was good acting and a bit of an unexpected twist at the end.

Its a shame this is on Netflix as had this been an independent film shown in some back alley cinema in New York, then this probably would have been praised for it originality.

Overall this film won't change your life but will entertain you for a little bit.

Going into the film expecting very little its hard to be let down. i wouldn't say this movie surprised me in any way but i was pleased with my choice to watch it. it had a decent mix of humor and seriousness, a well done production that kept me guessing if i was right in my idea of how it would end up or not. The main actors had a fairly good chemistry and worked well together. If you like little romps that don't take themselves too seriously but aren't at the same type gut busting hilarious than this may be for you. Its worth a watch if your the type that will enjoy a semi decent film despite its minor flaws.

This film tells the story of a man who runs a kidnapping service for clients who wishes to be kidnapped for whatever reason. His new job is not as easy as it seems.

I have actually watched a documentary about a kidnapping service, so the plot is quite believable to me. It delivers thrills and mystery, and it is a good film that provides adequate entertainment.

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

While I'm not a big fan of either Pat Healy or Taylor Schilling, they both do a decent job in their roles here.

This is a great example of an immersive adventure of absurdity. The premise of servicing kidnapping adventures is golden, if problematic which is basically cinematic.

The main contention ends up being a sort of hat on a hat, I think played for comedic purposes. It most likely would have been better if it had been a almost more of a prank kidnapping from the kidnapper's perspective, rather than a matter of confusion of identity.

There is a lot of psychological aspects are interesting about the type of people that would employ or provide these sort of services, and a good bit of humor, usually absurdist or misfortune based.

While there are likely better movies to watch, if this looks interesting to you, then it will probably be.
