The Plot…

Sam and Ken are two of the best at what they do.  And like Wolverine, what they do isn’t very nice.  Sam is a sniper.  Ken is his spotter.  They work for a secret organization and take out high profile targets the world over.

But when Sam accidentally kills an innocent when his bullet passes through the target, he decides to call it quits.  Sam’s controller, Tamara talks him into one last hit.

Tamara puts Sam and Ken into a high level penthouse suite as they wait for their assignment.  Soon enough Sam and Ken realize they’re trapped in the room.  A sniper in the building across the street has their room in his sights.  Assassins are outside their door.

There are stranded with no cover, no backup and no way out.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Take Cover has an interesting concept — being trapped in a room covered by a sniper and assassins coming in.  The movie takes a bit to get to the set-up and doesn’t offer much other than what you’d expect.

Take Cover (2024) rates 3 of 5 stars.
