You must prove, you're a man." So in this episode, Jason McCord and the teens learn to survive in the woods and how to hunt and make traps.They bond and learn all kinds of stuff in about 5 minutes of movie time. What do you do when you're branded, and you know you're a man.Wherever you go, for the rest of your life. Kyle is "Branded, scorned as the one who ran. And Amy didn't die, she is there to remind him that. After he wreaks his primo Mustang and leaves Amy Tilton (Phoebe Tonkin) for dead, his dad (Sebastian Koch) gets angry and sends him off to billionaire larvae boot camp with the GD Finkelsteen kid on remote Schottland Island with other billionaire kids who need adjustment. Kyle Hartmann (Jeremy Sumpter) is the spoiled son of a billionaire. Cutting my tales short, I just would like to recommend this movie to pass a nice time, watch some beautiful scenery and have the story unfold before your eyes, without having too much expectation, while at the same enjoying some good and fierce acting, among others, Phoebe Tonkin's one. Look what happened, the movie was not bad and above average, but because of the mentioned and some other things that more experienced persons will see, it failed miserably at the theaters and almost no one felt like promoting it. What the writers and producers failed to understand is what you want to do with your movie in the first place, if there is the slightest feel that the story, expenditures and budget do not match, there are potentially big plot holes and the whole picture will probably be seen as weak, disjointed or lacking solid logic throughout, then it's a mistake to even begin with. That's because of its cinematography, scenery, some good acting and entertainment value. Their subsequent plans and going after the kids as they did in the movie, wasn't well thought out too leading to how it all ended. Basically what happened down there, most of that was because of their low numbers. Seriously!, their number IMO wasn't enough in the first place, let alone with some (unbelievable) casualties.
They are shown together, that's it, they say that a specific place has no electricity but then miraculously stuff happen to be there, working and set up. Again, aside from basically two (not enough), viewers don't get to know about the others. Second, you have the parents or basically some of them. Should have shown that in more problematic ways. Also, the drama factor between all of them was low. Aside from some, the others didn't feel spoiled (a mistake). First, you have the young actors and their issues - acceptable development for some, but no background and their overall stories feel disjointed. As some reviewers correctly hinted, the movie feels like 2 to 3 movie parts put together. The matter and fact are not new to me and failure to do so, I saw in countless movies and series, leading to minor to big disasters in respect to the budget invested and the efforts put in. But going into a movie that is a B type movie with no name actors (of which the acting was not bad at all) and is made well and is entertaining, it needs to be rated appropriately! So hopefully everyone else who sees this enjoys it as much as I did and rates it accordingly.Īlthough, I enjoyed Take Down for what it presents itself, without having too much expectation, I do believe that when you invest a budget of over 11 million USD in a movie, it needs to have a smooth script and storyline first, then you have the means to put the acting on top of that. I didn't recognize any actors, budget was clearly low as it wasn't even disclosed, yet the story line was great, acting was good, the scenery was amazing, and I was pleasantly entertained! If a movie has a high budget with A-list actors and top directors/producers and is terrible, it deserves a low score. Yet it was boring, biased, stupid, NOT funny etc.
It has how many top rated actors (how many DON'T you know?) as well as a 20 million budget (which went where exactly?). Let me explain Let's take Barber Shop 2 as an example (that has a 5.9 average). What I mean by that is a movie needs to be rated on the investment/production value as well as entertainment. Why? Because you can't compare apples to oranges. I'm hoping once people read my review, they will rate this movie appropriately. Once again I am shocked at the low 5.3 average score for this movie.
