Review of Takers (2010) by Buggy B — 24 Jan 2014
Huge ensemble cast in an okay heist movie that just tries too hard. It did have its moments, like the very "Heat"-ish showdown at the end with tons of bullets and feathers a flyin in slow-motion as they shoot up the Hotel Roosevelt with sad classical music playing. I felt like I'd seen this movie about a hundred times before though (The Town, Italian Job, Oceans, Armoured, Heat) so nothing felt original and it was predictable.There were many sub stories going on amidst all the cops-chasing robbers which included some good acting (Idris Elba and his junkie sister) and some bad (Chris Brown & Matt Dillon) Its always that one, last heist that gets ya. 08.13.
"A Los Angeles detective (played by a too cool Matt Dillon) attempts to foil a multimillion dollar bank heist being planned by a group of criminal experts who are hoping this will be their last job.".
