Description: 1.46GB XVID OF ROBERT HARTFORD-DAVIS’ 1974 FILM, THE TAKE STARRING BILLY DEE WILLIAMS, EDDIE ALBERT, FRANKIE AVALON, SORRELL BOOKE, TRACY REED, ALBERT SALMI, VIC MORROW, JOHN DAVIS CHANDLER AND KATHLEEN HUGHES.
ALTHOUGHT IT MIGHT SEEM ON FIRST GLANCE TO BE A BLAXPLOITATION FILM, THE TAKE IS INSTEAD A STRAIGHT-AHEAD CRIME THRILLER THAT JUST HAPPENS TO STAR A BRUTHA.

AN EXCITING POTBOILER OF A FILM, BILLY DEE’S COOLNESS AND FAMOUS SAUVENESS ACTUALLY HURTS THE TENSION OF THE FILM. HE’S SO COOL UNDER PRESSURE THAT WE NEVER WORRY MUCH FOR HIS WELFARE. WHILE WATCHING, YOU KEEP THINKING, MAN, BILLY DEE’S GOT THIS SHIT…NO WORRIES.
ALBERT AND MORROW ARE GOOD IN UNDERWRITTEN ROLES AND IT’S GREAT TO SEE EX-HEARTTHROB, FRANKIE AVALON PLAYING A SMALL-TIME HOOD WHO’S INTERRUPTED AS HE’S BANGIN’ 70’s VOLUPTUOUS STARLET, KATHY BAUMANN, WHO TURNS A TOWEL INTO THE FILM’S SEXIEST COSTUME. THE TAKE IS FULL OF CHASE SCENES AND MACHO STAND-OFFS AND IT’S ENJOYABLE IN A 70’s GRITTY, PULPY SORT OF WAY
