I have seen the trailer for this movie, and i am already excited about it. I think Jeremy Renner is a brilliant actor, along with Mini Driver. The plot seems very interesting, and the story believable, like it could happen in real life. I would definitely go see it in theaters if releases.

Perhaps the first thing you need to know about this movie is what it is NOT.

First, it is not an LDS themed movie; it is a story told in a way that wouldn't offend LDS standards.

Second, it is not a chick flick or an action movie. This is a thinking person's drama, and you need to pay attention to it to follow it.

Third, this film is FULL of symbolism, from the characters' names to the colorization of the different scenes. The more you pay attention to this movie, the cooler you will think it is.

I'm looking forward to seeing this movie again, and owning it, and I look forward to the film maker's next effort.

Minnie Driver stars in a scene from "TAKE." The movie, created by LDS filmmakers, is an intense look at the power of forgiveness.
