If it were meant aa a comedy Take could have deserved 10 out of 10.
The movie starts okay with father and daughter and his concern about her. And their trip to Paris is something that could be considered worthwhile. Even what happened to the daughter has some suspense in it.
And then father comes to Paris.
My suspension of disbelief has been tried above all limits. Running with a speed that makes it possible to follow a car makes Liam Neeson a sure candidate for gold medals in any olympic sport. As a shooter he is the best in the world. The rest of the cast should follow my crash course 'Shooting for Villains'.
Sometimes I had a good laugh, but as a thriller/police film it is definitely rubbish.

I don't know why this old movie has such a low scores. Of course, it's not as fast as a 21st century movie, but it contains several really hilarious moments, and a decent plot.
John Huston is the director, so the movie is technically okay, and has a good narrative.
Add to this a couple of stars, such as Humphrey Bogart, Gina Lollobrigida and Peter Lorre. And the really great, but underrated Jennifer Jones. In spite of her co-actirs, she plays the protagonist of the movie in her role of Mrs. Gwendolen Chelm.
Of course, all the characters are a bit of a stereotype, but I think a good comedy - and I laughed out loud a couple of times - needs a bit of stereotyping.

While watching 'The Father', I thought the dialogues were completely unrealistic. How could the daughter be surprised by the father's reactions every time... She knows he is demented.
But then I thought about this as one of the really great things in the movie: It's all the perception of the father. It's his reality. The one that is mixed and confused. What a great movie!!!
