Seth McTigue’s debut feature is a modest but accomplished mix of caper suspense, tricky plotting and dysfunctional family dynamics.

"Take the Night" is a concertina, a family crime drama of second chances, worth a look to see if they're secured or squandered.

After finishing this film, audiences will have at least 20 questions about the film's plot. Thankfully, there is enough good in this movie to suggest it on a very light level.

Hopefully McTigue takes what he’s learned here and returns to the genre – it feels like a real classic is somewhere just in the making.
