Review of Takers (2010) by Will B — 20 Feb 2011

Promising bank robbery movie ruined by its own attempts to be something other than what it is. I liked most of the acting, the concept, the various storylines woven throughout, and the production. Unfortunately it tried way too hard to be cool and sleek and they foolishly put people in major roles who should never ever be in acting in the first place (I'm looking at you T.

I. and Chris Brown)! About 3/4 of the way through this movie it takes a weird and unfortunate turn into fantasy land. It's almost as if the director said, "Alright guys, this was fun and all, but the sooner we wrap this up, the sooner we can all go out for drinks.

".
