Review of Takers (2010) by Kristi S — 03 Mar 2011
Not sure why everyone hates on this film. It's not the greatest heist movie ever made, but it's still pretty damn good. It's got really good action that all leads up to a crazy, explosive finale. The performances aren't bad. I thought all the actors did a pretty decent job. Chris Brown surprised me-if it's really him doing his own stunts in the parkour scene than shit...he's got a cool future ahead of him in action movies.
Overall I think it was an awesome movie. You've got Matt Dillon, Idris Elba, Paul Walker, and Hayden Christensen working amongst "actors"/rappers who don't do that bad of a job. Some of the stories in the movie get sort of rushed to the side and rushed at the end of the film, but the main story stays strong the whole time. If you go into it thinking you're about to see The Town or even the next Heat, you're going to be disappointed. This movie is the Fast and Furious of the heist genre, so take it for what it is and enjoy.
