The Take (2007)
2/10
Typical bad indie garbage

"The Take" was just terrible. The locations and the whole feel of the film were cliché. The drama was over the top and badly acted. Apparently it was a low budget movie and it definitely looked like it was made for no money. John Leguizamo's character battles rehabilitation after being shot during a heist. He's also trying to track down the man who did the crime. Sounds good right? Wrong!! It's terribly boring.

Leguizamo and Rosie Perez must have gone really low to be in a movie like this. Although they're usually decent actors, here they had very little decent material to work with, and so their performances are fake and amateurish. It takes too long for the story to get going, it's really slow, and the action is lame and predictable. I'm just glad I saw this at a friend's house and didn't have to pay a cent for it. 2/10
