Ray is a fledgling entrepreneur who specializes in high-end simulated abductions. He jumps at the chance when a mysterious client contracts him for a weekend kidnapping with a handsome payday at the end. But the job isn't all that it seems.
Healy is never able to find an absorbing middle ground in Mike Makowsky's script, vacillating gratingly between shrill farce and murky thriller that flails its way toward an intended twist-ending that really shouldn't surprise anyone.
... features enough playful twists to keep you guessing until the end, although the banter becomes tiresome and the emotional investment dwindles as the thin concept is stretched to feature length.
The fun of Take Me is watching these two actors go toe-to-toe in scene after scene. Healy knows that as a director. His approach is simple, unadorned, and gets the job done.
The movie moves briskly along at just 85 minutes, balancing laughs and cringe-worthy violence. A sequence involving a set of car keys will not be soon forgotten.
Healy knows exactly the mix of comical bumbling and psychological tension he wants here, executing the premise in a way sure to please fans of his distinctive body of work ... and impress a few new ones along the way.
