Phil Hoad 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 Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Pedro Gallego Espinof 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 Feb 20, 2025 Full Review 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. Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Jennie Kermode 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 Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Alistair Lawrence 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. Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Josh Bell 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+ Oct 8, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Luis R The writing was terrible and the movie was super boring from beginning to end. It was all very predictable. Awful Movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Martin K Nicht überragend aber auch nicht so schlecht. Für eine normale Abendunterhaltung ausreichend. Für Scott Adkins Fans okay. Die Handlung ist zugegeben ziemlich dürftig und Ken nervt, aber es gibt wesentlich schlechtere Filme. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Sarah C Horrible. Ken is one of the most annoying characters I've ever seen, pretty glad that he gets got. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review Frans B Flimsy writing, pity, could have been much more. Scott Adkins is capable but not really able to show it here. Action sequences are good but it lacks lustre overall. Not very coherent but have a look if you are a fan of Adkins and action Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Greg H An OK premise, some OK fights not too overdone. Better writing would have helped Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Dan V Another movie, consisting of characters, staring at one another, characters, staring at the sky, characters, staring at the ground, no real point. And no ending. Another awful movie with no ending, pretend pretending to be sophisticated art. Don’t waste a part of your life on this movie go out and have a walk and you’ll be much better off. I give this half a star rating for teaching me to never watch a Scott Adkins movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
