Review of Takers (2010) by Joe . — 17 Mar 2011
I like a good heist movie, but I really prefer it when I can get behind the characters involved. There's "good, honest criminals" like the Ocean's Eleven crew, then there's ignorant thugs like these. Without giving away the ending, I'm scratching my head here trying to figure out the moral here... crime doesn't pay? No. Nice guys finish last? No.
Overall, some decent action, but a lot of it has been done better elsewhere. The armoured car job is straight out of The Italian Job (they even go so far as to SAY they're ripping it off) and the standoff in the hotel room is practically a shot for shot ripoff of True Romance.
