"Take one look at (someone or something)" = Kiểm tra kỹ lưỡng ai/cái gì một cách nhanh chóng và như thám tử/phong cách kỵ sĩ.

Ví dụ
As early as the 1770s, Abigail Adams was urging her husband to “remember the ladies.” Take one look at the Constitution, and it’s pretty easy to see he did not. A century later, in 1872, Victoria Woodhull ran for president of the United States. Did you know that? Probably not, because our culture still struggles to remember the ladies.

All you have to do is take one look at the Galaxy Fold to know that, as a consumer product, foldables (có thể gấp lại) aren't quite there yet. We've seen plenty of concepts from companies like TCL, too, but even those are far off from being in our hands. The good news is we know that a handful of foldables will come out in 2020 and some of them look pretty neat.

You would like to think that even if the president of the United States decided to go through with a back-channel inquiry (sự điều tra, thẩm vấn) to the Ukrainian government to see if he could get them to investigate the Bidens, he would take one look at Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman and say, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. These guys look like the most oafish henchmen (tay sai/người hậu cần ngu ngốc, đần độn) since Jeff Gillooly and Shawn Eckardt went after Nancy Kerrigan. You wouldn’t trust these guys to pick up a take-out lunch order, much less use them to execute a secret and politically sensitive request of a foreign government.”
