Where to Watch The Take
- Gianni CavuotoOctober 15, 2025A throughly enjoyable movie. Not a horrible way to kill 90 minutes of your time. A little on the generic side and the action was not over the top Hollywood. This is a good one to watch when you don't have to pay 100% attention to the story, you won't miss much. Mr. Alba brings his best but can drag everyone else over the line. I'm still not sorry I watched it.
