Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe interior of Pierre's apartment is actually the director's sister's bedroom. The exterior is a real block of flats only ten minutes away from the director's house. The kitchenette in Pierre's apartment is actually downstairs, in the same house, but was incorporated as part of the same apartment through editor's sleight-of-hand.
- GoofsThroughout the film there are several moments where the dialogue goes out of synch with actors' lips. This is due to the fact that the camera's motor was so loud that the entire film had to be ADRed (or "dubbed").

Featured review
Cool Crime Independent
Give and Take, and Take is about Will Kane (an understandable reference to Gary Cooper's character in High Noon) and Ricky Hammond (a ref to 48 Hours? - This is a kind of buddy movie afterall), two likeable crooks doing little errands for gangsters in London's famous East End. After they decide to cut open an old, dead friend of theirs to retrieve condoms full of heroin from his gut, events turn nihilistic (more so!).
A colorful, imaginative low budget crime action film, there is a clever balance of genuine plot and intense action too. I spotted knowing references in there to LA Confidential, Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrells, Heat, True Romance, Reservoir Dogs, Alfie, El Mariachi, King Of New York and Mean Streets. I think the film makers probably want that to be part of the fun. See how many you can spot!
