Take Me (film)

Although initially scared and obedient, Anna soon adopts a mocking tone, accusing him of being a pervert who has abducted her under flimsy premises.

Natalie discovers the envelope filled with money and surmises its purpose, angry that her husband would finance Ray's bizarre business.

Ray shows her the contract she digitally signed and plays back her earlier phone message, both of which she dismisses as fabrications.

After Anna shoots him several times with his pellet gun, Ray attempts to regurgitate the keys, only for her to slip and fall unconscious.

Armed with Tom's rifle, Anna takes Ray hostage, threatening to shoot him unless he submits to riding in her car's trunk.

At the end of the ride back to the city, Anna happily thanks him for the experience and offers to invest in his business, revealing to the audience and Ray that she was indeed a willing participant the whole time.

"[10] Nick Schager of Variety also gave the film a positive review, determining its ability to "exploit its screwy premise for both unnerving laughs and volatile thrills.

"[11] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter highlighted Healy's direction in particular, citing it as "exactly the mix of comical bumbling and psychological tension he wants here, executing the premise in a way sure to please fans of his distinctive body of work... and impress a few new ones along the way.

"[12] Neil Genzlinger's review in The New York Times was more tepid, claiming that "parts of it work, but the overall package is never really suspenseful enough to have you on edge or overtly funny enough to be a lark.
