Film Review - Take Cover

TAKE COVER 3

Budget-minded, small-scale scenes of survival make up the basic idea of “Take Cover.” Screenwriter Joshua Todd James (“Pound of Flesh”) is out to create a thriller without spending too much money, mostly containing the tale of a sniper being targeted by his employers to a single hotel suite, trying to stretch dramatic interests as long as possible while the action remains stationary. It’s a B-movie concept handed to director Nick McKinless, a seasoned stunt performer making his directorial debut with the endeavor, which takes advantage of his years of physical work as small battles break out in a limited space. “Take Cover” lacks bigness, which limits the impact of the violent picture, finding James focusing on filling as much of the feature with dialogue, and that has a shelf life. Helping the cause is star Scott Adkins, who provides authority in the lead role, making a desperate night of endurance feel somewhat real, also handling the film’s determination to sell characterization.
