I saw "Take Back", starring Mickey Rourke-The Masked Singer_tv, The Expendables; Michael Jai White-Arrow_tv, Black Dynamite_tv; Gillian White-The Young and the Restless_tv, Jackie Brown and James Russo-Django Unchained, Open Range.
This is a low budget martial arts action dud. I usually like martial arts movies but this one has bad acting and plot holes that you could drive a truck through. Mickey plays the villain and he is one of the worst things about this movie. His 'acting' is mostly just sitting around petting his dogs and trying to look villainous. Michael is a martial arts teacher that teaches his wife Gillian how to be a bad ass-she can even beat him up. Just in time, too, when she needs those skills to stop a bullying boyfriend from terrorizing a woman in a store. Gillian gets on tv and gets recognized by Mickey-they have a secret past connection-who sends guys to kill her. Gillian keeps maiming or killing the would be assassins which draws the attention of James, the detective investigating the cases. Sometimes, Mickey wants to kill Gillian and other times he doesn't-I said there were plot problems. There are even times when he could do things he earlier said he would do, and then he will just feed his dogs or just look off, menacingly.
It didn't have a rating but it had violence, language and sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 29 minutes.
It's not one that I would buy on DVD or rent, either. If you really want to see it, I would wait until it's on cable tv.
