The Take
The crime was only the beginning.
Felix De La Pena (Emmy Award-winner John Leguizamo) is an armored car driver struggling to make ends meet for his wife Marina (Rosie Perez) and two kids in East LA's Boyle Heights neighborhood. But their lives are thrown into chaos after Felix miraculously survives a violent on-the-job hijacking led by Adell Baldwin (Tyrese Gibson), a merciless criminal driven by power and greed.
Now facing a difficult recovery and struggling with a nasty new temper, Felix becomes obsessed with tracking down his attackers before they frame him for the crimes they committed.

Do we know the story yet. I think so but it was entertaining non the less. I know this story line has been beatn to death but it is still quite well done here I am sure in real life it could not happen the stars just do not aline that way and the person who should win seldome if ever does but... The cast is good and the direction is fine the film itself is one of the better ones I have seen in this forum. I can only say it is way too predictable and could have used a bit more objectivityOdd Drama + Cheesy Revenge = ? - kav2001c
Strange film; essentially one night a driver for an armoured car company is robbed at gun point, shot and left for dead. Most of the movie deals with his emotional and mental trauma as he tries to get on with his life and this part of the movie is actually fairly good (but boring if you dont feel like watching a drama). For some odd reason the police fixate on him as being the inside man (despite obvious signs to who was involved) so the driver then decides to hunt down the man responsible for his trauma. This is where the movie falls apart as the conflict scenes can be best described as straight to video cheese and the robber has no acting ability whatsoever.
