Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. While I'm not a big fan of either Pat Healy or Taylor Schilling, they both do a decent job in their roles here. This is a great example of an immersive adventure of absurdity. The premise of servicing kidnapping adventures is golden, if problematic which is basically cinematic. The main contention ends up being a sort of hat on a hat, I think played for comedic purposes. It most likely would have been better if it had been a almost more of a prank kidnapping from the kidnapper's perspective, rather than a matter of confusion of identity. There is a lot of psychological aspects are interesting about the type of people that would employ or provide these sort of services, and a good bit of humor, usually absurdist or misfortune based. While there are likely better movies to watch, if this looks interesting to you, then it will probably be.

Honestly keeps you wondering even while the credits roll. And while _Take Me_ might not be great, it's a rare movie that can do that. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
