    Well meaning but very slow and it is a depressing film. Good acting by Minnie Driver. Another plus is that it isn't predictable, but by the time the film gets going it's too late. It takes way too long to become interesting.

    While Oliver's script doesn't necessarily cover a lot of new ground, it is Oliver's words and pacing that turn "Take" into such a noteworthy film. One cannot watch the supermarket robbery unfold without thinking about the words that were spoken and the choices that were made just prior to it. One feels Ana's palpable grief when she realizes that had she relented to one of her son's simple requests, her son would still be alive. It's simple, powerful screenwriting. Beautifully photographed, sensitively written and featuring a stellar cast, "Take" was easily one of the hidden jewels of the 2008 Indianapolis International Film Festival.… Expand

    I hate to be a hater, but this move made me feel like I got "Taken" for $10. It was really painful to watch, and not in a good way. Absolutely awful, amateur hour indie. Don't waste your money now, or on DVD (which is sure to happen soon)

    Take has the audacity to excuse its bad cinematic habits as figments of both Saul and Ana's imaginations.

    A woefully earnest indie about a crime and its aftermath.

    Driver and Renner deliver haunting performances in this story of crime and punishment.
