Scott Adkins has got no cover, no back-up, and no way out in this claustrophobic action thriller. Sam Lorde has spent a lifetime killing people. After a hit gone wrong, he finds himself disillusioned and lacking purpose, deciding to retire as a hitman. His final job however, results in him being a target himself. With little to no cover, he must fight with everything he has to survive.

Guardian

After a fair dollop of comedy on his slate in the last few years, this dour, downbeat performance could herald Adkins entering his Chuck Norris phase. He is a capable actor, but this cliche-heavy stodge does him no favours.

Rated: 2/5

Take Cover delivers everything in just the right doses so that it doesn't matter too much how convoluted or simplistic its plot is, although in a movie like this it really doesn't matter at all. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

Emilie Black

Cinema Crazed

This is one of those non-stop action films once things get going and it’s fun while it happens. The bullets and fists fly and almost everyone is hit in one way or another at one point or another, making it a seriously violent film that doesn’t hold back.

Eye for Film

There is practically nothing in the plot of this film that viewers won’t have seen before, yet it works, largely due to the combination of engaging characters and expertly delivered action.

Rated: 3.5/5

Common Sense Media

What the movie can't deliver, however, is a break from the familiar "one last job" cliches, or a climax packed with any surprises.

Crooked Marquee

When Adkins gets to cut loose in hand-to-hand combat against various henchmen, the results are thrilling, but the movie spends far too much time on tedious exposition and shallow characterization.

Rated: C+

One star cause I always liked Scott Adkins.. except he sure can pick a truly talentless cast of actors, cinematographers, writers, directors. It is much worse than a B movie. Laughable, but boringly so...

What could of been simply 100% was not with Take Cover. The horrific script writing is really something to behold. I mean, I've got ESL students who could definitely knock out much better writing. All in all, it is best watched as a background movie whilst cleaning the house. Pay too much attention to this movie and a bit of your brain is sure to seep out your ears.

The trailer was essentially made of the best parts of the movie ...unfortunately cringe worthy frathouse dialogue between the male protagonists and lots of meaningless blabla to fill the holes...some of the scenes remind me of other (lots better) action movies...especially the last scene: his confrontation with Tamara: sth. like youl get close and personal and look him/her in the eye....anyone else reminded of The Fast and the Furious part 8: Vin Diesel before he kills Cyphers lapdog? As usual good Martial Arts from Adkins - therefore 2 stars. But overall not worth the time.
