Best movie ever!

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Given that the USA and UK share a common language this film is one of the few I have watched where a translator is actually required. This is "end to end" action, although there isn't a good ending within this...if you watch you will find out why without me spoiling it for you. I wont be doing this one again, nor any of the others. The drug addict sister, was in my view, poor casting and Its rare to actually view a film with "no hero"....not really for me

I rarely take the time to write a review on IMDb but this one sucks so bad - after a decent start - I had to do it."Takers" starts off promising with decent cinematography and sharp detail but soon enough there's too much of "I've seen this before" feeling.The pace is fast and there's plenty of action but "cool" gangsters moving to loud "cool" music has been so overdone it seems the director couldn't come up with any original ideas so he felt it OK to just copy elements from "Heat," "The Italian Job," and others already mentioned elsewhere. Sad.Only Idris Elba and Matt Dillon pull their weight in the acting department. The other "actors" - especially the rappers - all come across like rank amateurs, unable to deliver any credibility. Wanted to turn it off by the 60 minute mark but forced myself to see through the end. Will NOT be watching this trash again.A lot of flash here but little energy. Dull, predictable, boring and forgettable. True fans of heist films will do better with a rerun of "Heat."

I watched "Takers" on my phone and I am very excited that this film was good I downloaded it for its genre "Heist" and it was not awesome as "Ocean Series" but good.Takers has raked in late Paul walker which was pretty interesting.... And the way he acted was also good and idris Elba was also good while other actors were also good....The star cast was not big as ocean series bit they looked good and the planning for heist was also created very well and the way the betrayal is shown was also good...And also that other supporting cast played a role to make this film better like the police officers and all.Overall it was a good movie with good star cast...

Story: It can be hard to keep the heist genre fresh because there is always some very simple rules that every film usually follows. The strong leader who has a second who keeps everything together and comical brother pairing, a group of seemingly different people whose skills come together, a determined cop, an old member and the idea this will be the last job but even risker than normal. This follows all the rules without straying to create any originality, saying that these rules are what makes this a good film and why try and change something that is broken. (8/10)Actor Review(This is not in order of impotence)Chris Brown: Jesse the cocky brother and member of the crew who select skill set is never really explained but when he is in trouble he always finds a way out with a brilliant free running scene. Good performance from the controversial singer showing he can be part of an assembled cast. (7/10)borwnHayden Christensen: AJ the man who can get his hands on everything, he is good in a fight and his overall charm makes the youngest member of the team crucial. Good performance from the heavily criticised actor. (7/10)haydenMatt Dillon: Jack the reckless cop who won't let the case rest until he finds out who was behind the job, leading him to push his daughter away and leave him figuring out everything on his own. Good performance from the ever reliable Dillon. (7/10)dillonMichael Ealy: Jake the smart brother who keeps both their interests at heart, he plans the details of the job while others get what he needs. Good performance creating a good bond with Chris Brown to create a good brother relationship. (7/10)jakeIdris Elba: Gordon the leader of the crew, who always keeps the jobs quick and clean with a long enough gap between them all that no one will suspect them. Good performance from Idris showing he is the go to lead coming out of the UK.(8/10)elbaT.I. Harris: Ghost the former member who is fresh out of jail, who brings the team one more job to make up for his lost time. Good performance creating a very calm persona throughout. (7/10)ghostPaul Walker: John the calm second in command/adviser to Gordon who keeps everyone together as is usually the go to guy to double check everything before going through with the job. Good performance from Walker showing he is a good member of an ensemble cast. (7/10)walkerDirector Review: John Luessenhop – Good direction to create a good crime thriller that keeps your attention from start to finish. (7/10)Action: The action doesn't happen too often but when it does it is all very entertaining. (7/10)Crime: Good crimes heist thriller elements used throughout. (9/10)Thriller: Keeps you wondering what will happen next to all the characters. (8/10)Settings: Good settings used mainly all LA which works for the busyness of the moments. (7/10)Suggestion: This is one that all the fans of the genre should see, but I feel more people should try it they will enjoy what they see.
