The Takeover (I) (2022)
4/10
Could have been a great movie

I am dutch and living in the Netherlands. I was excited to watch the movie. And almost very quickly very dissapointed.

What i really really hate is when they decide to choose a dutch actor to play a character from another country with a bad accent. It was so annoying. Rogers was also annoying and they should have chosen better actors for these parts.

Nice to see actors like Ferry, Holly Mae and Walid. If the storyline was more credible, maybe the actingwould have been different(stronger and better).

Story/acting could have been tighter so that the main character was taken more seriously in the movie. Some really predictable scenes and cheesy scenes. But i really like genre hacking movies. And this is a disappointment. Everything goes so fast, too fast. Or to slow and predictable.

Beautifully shot scenes in Rotterdam. But normally we don't take the boat in Rdam as often as it is suggested. It's very busy in this city with people(day and night), but very few to see in the movie.

Hope someone or the same director does a do-over within this genre because it is nice to see dutch thriller movies/series with credible cybercrime in it.
