Director: Nick McKinless
Take Cover is a 2024 American action-thriller directed by Nick McKinless, starring Scott Adkins as a sniper trapped in a glass penthouse, streaming with Persian dub and subtitles on K-Time.
What is Take Cover about?
A sniper who has walked away from the profession finds his quiet life upended when a rival marksman corners him inside an all-glass high-rise apartment. With almost no walls to hide behind and every window a potential kill line, he has to think his way out of a trap built for someone with nowhere left to run. The film compresses its cat-and-mouse premise into tight interiors, leaning on geometry and sightlines rather than sprawling set pieces, and keeps the pressure on a single question: how do you outlast an opponent who can see you from any angle.
Cast & crew
Scott Adkins anchors the film as the besieged marksman, working opposite Alice Eve, with Jack Parr, Billy Clements, and Renars Latkovskis rounding out the cast under Nick McKinless's direction. Adkins, long known for physically demanding action roles, brings a controlled, exhausted-professional energy to a character defined more by tactical thinking than brute force.
Context & significance
Low-glass, high-tension sniper thrillers are a small but durable genre niche, and Take Cover leans into that lineage by turning an apartment's architecture itself into the antagonist. For viewers who favor lean, single-location thrillers over sprawling blockbusters, it offers a compact, geography-driven alternative.
Where & how to watch
Take Cover streams on K-Time with Persian dub and Persian subtitles, so viewers can choose whichever fits their household. Watching requires logging into a free K-Time account, though the film's page here is open to read without signing in. K-Time's interface runs in Farsi, built for Persian-speaking audiences across North America, with no VPN or geo-blocking required and no long-term commitment involved.
