The Taking (2014)
Disappointing
22 October 2014 - 33 out of 54 users found this review helpful.
I had such hope for this movie, but it was a huge disappointment. A silly premise (a doctoral student paying their subject enough money to "save their home"!?!?), an increasingly illogical plot, and HORRID acting (including screaming and yelling ad nauseam, and characters talking over each other so you can't understand half of the dialog) ruined what could have been a decent film.
And then there is the requisite shaky camera work that, in my opinion, was used to cover up that fact that there was very little actually going on. By the end of the movie, I was convinced that ANYONE can make a movie at this stage of the game.
