	Author	Review
United States	Nick Schager Variety	"[It] exploits its screwy premise for both unnerving laughs and volatile thrills (...) 'Take Me' maintains throughout a firm grip on its farcical absurdity."	POS
United States	Keith Watson Slant	"[It] maintains the pace and strikes a fairly tricky balance between gritty thriller and madcap farce (...) [It] isn't very suspenseful or very funny (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Healy and Schilling are together for a large majority of the movie. And so much of the film’s success hinges on their dynamic and performances."	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"The overall package is never really suspenseful enough to have you on edge or overtly funny enough to be a lark."	NEG
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"The sometimes caustic banter and the pic's will-he-get-caught tension makes this one suspense film in which being able to guess the end doesn't spoil the fun."	POS
United States	Sam Weisberg Village Voice	"A stagy, tired, slapstick-heavy game (...) The ending is thin and contrived"	NEG
