This hybrid of survivalist action and young-adult drama remains watchable from start to finish, even if it never becomes essential.

...a bloodless 80s throwback that never really goes anywhere.

Kidnappers hold eight rich kids for ransom in this wilderness-survival thriller that holds few surprises but makes excellent use of its rocky island locations.

3/10

A couple of distinctive moments stand out amidst the tedium, such as a rather innovative use for a compound fracture, but everything about Take Down is an overfamiliar slog from start to finish that holds no surprises or excitement.

Die Hard on a Scottish island that doubles as a character-building boot-camp that specializes in teaching spoiled rich twenty-somethings survival skills.

Surprisingly very entertaining from start to finish. Take Down might not be memorable, but this survivalist thriller feels like a Hunger Games spinoff and a highly enjoyable one at that.

absolutely ridiculous! The acting is beyond bad. The one actress who plays Amy clearly is Australian, as her accent flips between that and some weird hybrid valley girl I don't know what she's trying to do accent. The fight scene was absolutely ridiculous. Amy breaks her arm, her bone is sticking out and she manages to continue on fighting, and then manages to kill the other person by stabbing her in the neck with said exposed bone. If you wanted this to be remotely believable this is not it. I cringed and had to fast forward most of it. It was terrible. Don't waste your time. Can you even give 0 stars here?

A good sofa movie. Ed Eastwick is good, strange seeing him as an Englishman.
