Review of Takers (2010) by Drago? C — 22 Mar 2011
THis movie desperately wants to be the Town but shoddy camerawork, indistinguishable secondary characters and flat script makes it fall short by a mile. The camerawork is bleak, with odd angles and shaky 'realistic' cuts and the script, complete with 'evil russians' is wafer thin.
The thing this movie does have going for it is a very good performance by Dillon and Idris Elba as well as some good action scenes. However the subplots and curious frankenstein plot (ocean's eleven meets the town meets armoured meets.
..) cut up the action into a grand total of two action scenes, making this a disappointing if watchable film.
