Take Me

Didnt laugh tons but the plot was enjoyable enough to stand on its own feet.

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.

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.

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.

"Take Me" is an enjoyable film, mainly for the first 30 minutes of it, after the cat-and-mouse game finishes you will want it to finish itself altogether.

It's a good take on the hostage genre that certainly grabs a few laughs while enjoying the great chemistry between Healy and Schilling.

The plot revolves around a man who gets paid to kidnap his clients in order to make them forget their vices or in other cases, just for the adrenaline rush and escaping the mundane life. This premise sounds good and it's somewhat put into good use until the kidnapper starts questioning himself, that's where the movie starts going nowhere.

I believe it deserves a watch considering it's low runtime and the potential of a couple of laughs as long as you don't go in with high expectations to have your mind blown away.
