Take Cover is a 2024 British action thriller film directed by Nick McKinless and starring Scott Adkins and Alice Eve.
Sam is regretful, believing that the girl he killed may have been innocent and seemed to be protecting the target but Ken argues that they are good soldiers who works for the government and the woman put herself in harm's way through her own choices.
The manager brings up food and suddenly opens the curtains, Sam shouts to close it but he sees a flash of sniper's scope on a building across the street from him.
Mona makes Sam promise to take care of her 8 year old daughter and sacrifices herself as he finally kills the sniper.
With the help of Mona's daughter, Sam kills her in the restroom and casually walks away with the child, hoping his path of redemption is in good hands.
