"When I get out of this... I'm coming to get you." Ohh boy, watch out! Brainstorm Media has revealed the official trailer for an action thriller titled Take Cover, yet another film being made by a stuntman shifting into directing. It's set for a VOD release in October, though it doesn't seem good enough to waste any money renting it. "No cover, no backup and no way out." A burned-out professional sniper finds himself trapped in an all-glass penthouse by a lethal competitor and must find a way to survive and somehow escape with little to no cover between him and the killer. Starring Scott Adkins as the aging hitman Sam Lorde, Jack Parr, Alice Eve, Madalina Bellariu Ion, Peter Caulfield, and Billy Clements. Meh... Yet another of these extremely generic, exceptionally derivative action films about a hitman trying to get out but being unable to cleanly leave his past.
