The Big Take (2018) Reviews
A Pretty Straight Forward Story.
This was a pretty straight forward story. A film producers fails miserably at attempting to blackmail a Hollywood actor with a DVD recording of him being with tranny, and that's where the story goes, stays, and ends. It's not a long drawn out journey story, but it does take you on a nice little blackmail extortion ride and brings you to the destination. A little funny, yet serious, kudos to the all the actors making this watchable. This formula that has been done a few times, but for these characters and with this story line, it was decently done. I definitely recommend ....good watch
Definitely worth watching
I would watch this movie again for the cinematography alone which is stunning and was one of the first things that drew me into the film. The directing is really top-notch as well. Every shot was well composed and the performances of the actors were spot on. Overall there was a strong tone to the piece and a complete artistic vision. If there's any weak link to the movie, it's that the script could be tightened in places in terms of character development and dialogue, but overall I enjoyed watching it and found myself laughing out loud in a number of places. The characters were quirky and endearing and pulled me into their story with ease. By the time it was over, I really cared about them. The ending (which I won't give away) was done extremely well. Overall the film is likeable and fun and definitely worth watching.
Good short film worth a watch
It's a little short, but worth a watch. I'm not sure what type of dolt would give this only 1 star.
I wanted to be an astronaut
Max (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) has a screenplay but can't get any funding for his film about a fireman who dies in the line of duty. His friend and producer Vic (Slate Holmgren) takes action and through a series of circumstances makes a video where he can and does blackmail Douglas Brown (James McCaffrey) for $200,000 to make the film. Brown hires an investigator and second story woman (Zoe Bell) as they go after Max, as he is their only clue. Max doesn't know Douglas has been blackmailed and believes he just wants to finance his film. There is confusion as they talk about "the film." This is a pretty decent dark comedy. Not LOL funny, but amusing. Guide: F-word. No sex. Oksana Lada in a see-thru top.
Great movie!
At first I was unsure if this was a B movie. After 5 min you slide in to the story and it keeps getting better and better. Its a movie that drags you in and puts you on the edge of your seat, non pretentious simple and funny movie with a good cast. I was hoping the DVD would be shown at the end credits.
