Elba's magnetic physical presence delivers so much without doing much of anything. But his fans deserve so much better than a couple of dumb quips and a little ultra-violence. Nov 18, 2016 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

Most of The Take's moving parts feel like spinning cogs, devoid of fit or function. Nov 17, 2016 | Rating: C | Full Review…

Yes, it's uncomfortable watching a terror-themed tale in a city that so recently dealt with real terrorism. But if you can get past that, the movie sweeps you along with a brisk pace and even dashes of humor. Nov 17, 2016 | Full Review…

A strictly by-the-numbers political thriller that fails to capitalize on Idris Elba's formidable screen presence. Nov 17, 2016 | Full Review…

Director James Watkins keeps things reasonably interesting, but his characters are not well drawn, which hinders the buddy dynamic between Mason and Briar. Nov 16, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Packed into a tight 90 minutes, the film has a visual leanness that almost amounts to plainness, presumably dictated by a relatively low budget. May 17, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

It's not a bad film at all. It's a little dry at times but the story is interesting and compelling. Aug 21, 2018 | Full Review…

If the film's explosive opening is simply a case of poor timing, its last half-hour is just poor movie-making, with a twist that comes as little surprise and a final bit of storyline that doesn't remotely convince. Oct 24, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

As far as action films go, the raised expectations of the first half of the film arguably heighten the disappointment of the clichéd finale. Sep 15, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
