Review of Takers (2010) by The D — 10 Aug 2011
Very enjoyable, easy to watch if incredibly formualic heist movie.
The plot is simple enough. Recently released fom prison 'Ghost'(Harris) returns to his old crew for his cut & to offer a new big job.
Although reluctant the crew sign up despite their trepidation about Ghost fearing a genuine ulterioir motive.
In pursuit from their last job are Dillon & Hernandez's cop also dealing with motives & actions in their own jobs.
So from here on in it's as you would expect. Reminders of Heat are very apparent. Loyalties are tested at each turn.
The crew has a good cast well accustomed to such a movie including Elba & Walker but Brown & Ealy are the missing links however this is the least wooden I've seen Christensen. Zoe Saldana is also there briefly as the token glamour girlfriend.
Mindless & simple but a good popcorn movie all the same.
