The Take is up there with my favorite independents of all time. Imagine The Departed if Scorsese had a $1 million budget and only a few weeks to shoot.
I was hooked from the opening sequence that bled East L.A. and framed the adventure to come. Leguizamo, in his best performance to date, becomes his character and pulls off the transformation of Felix from everyman to consumed by his own vindication. Rosie Perez is tossed between despair and hope as the audience wrestles the same conflict. Tyrese (perfectly cast) oh so subtlety growls as the unscrupulous villain with vicious apathy for his sins as he is absorbed by his mission. Support was well cast and effective with particular props to Perelli and Marco.
In addition to the opening sequence highlights include Tyrese's intro, Leguizamo's pained crawl, Rosie's first visit to the hospital, Leguizamo's fight with his TV, and the outstanding chase scene towards the end.
Bravo. Fantastic film.
