Review of The Take

The Take (2009)
10/10
It's all in Tom Hardy's voice...
18 February 2011
Warning: Spoilers
After leaving prison Freddie hopes to take over the criminal empire of his boss, Ozzy. However, Freddie's hot temper is his biggest enemy. His cousin, Jimmy however, is smart and a born businessman, who quickly becomes Ozzy's favourite....While Freddie is left on the outside. The story also focuses on the women in Freddie and Jimmy's life.

The show incorporates some wonderful characters and the actors give some amazing performances, especially Tom Hardy who is sublime as the menacing psychopath, Freddie; it is all in his voice and how he seems to stare into ones soul. What's even more brilliant is that the story never ceases to become boring, it is always tense and powerful.
