Really enjoyed how low-key and normal this comes across. It's anything but normal. Lol. Very dry, and dark, it is humorous and well-written. I'm not familiar with the two leads, but they are both brilliant here

Didn't expect much but this movie really was an entertaining screwball comedy. Totally a hidden gem.

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. While I'm not a big fan of either Pat Healy or Taylor Schilling, they both do a decent job in their roles here. This is a great example of an immersive adventure of absurdity. The premise of servicing kidnapping adventures is golden, if problematic which is basically cinematic. The main contention ends up being a sort of hat on a hat, I think played for comedic purposes. It most likely would have been better if it had been a almost more of a prank kidnapping from the kidnapper's perspective, rather than a matter of confusion of identity. There is a lot of psychological aspects are interesting about the type of people that would employ or provide these sort of services, and a good bit of humor, usually absurdist or misfortune based. While there are likely better movies to watch, if this looks interesting to you, then it will probably be.

Similar to Game Night and started off really well and as funny as the trailer and then I lost interest. Good for something different though!

Healy knows exactly the mix of comical bumbling and psychological tension he wants here, executing the premise in a way sure to please fans of his distinctive body of work ... and impress a few new ones along the way.

The fun of Take Me is watching these two actors go toe-to-toe in scene after scene. Healy knows that as a director. His approach is simple, unadorned, and gets the job done.

Rated: 3.5/4

The broad opening scenes make it seem like a lighter movie than it is; hang in there, because it's a ride.

Film Pulse

Take Me is a solid directorial debut from Pat Healy and will hopefully be a sign of good things to come as he transitions to a career behind the camera.

Enough tickles and twists to be Netflixable -- but just barely.

By the time Take Me arrives at its climax we begin to see how much better this film could've been.
