As the "takers" carefully plot their strategy and draw nearer to exacting the grand heist, a reckless police officer (Matt Dillon) inches closer to apprehending the criminals.
A group of bank robbers find their multi-million dollar plan interrupted by a hard-boiled detective.
I won't go calling this film excellent, but I will say that this film did the job. I guess that after seeing the trailer almost 10 months ago before Armored, I was having high expectations about this movie, and all in all, Takers succeeded them all. Takers basically talks about a group of ''Takers'' (robbers, played by Idris Elba, Paul Walker, Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen and Micheal Ealy) who meet their ex colleague Ghost (T.I.), and Ghost offers them a job that will get them a lot of money. Meanwhile, police officers Jack Welles and Eddie Hatcher (played by Matt Dillon and Jay Hernandez respectively) try to follow their case in order to get them. Basically, it's yet another movie about a robbery gone wrong. Remember, the kind of robbery that's always supposed to go right until everything goes wrong? The cast is, altogether, pretty good. The best performances come from Micheal Ealy, Idris Elba, Jay Hernandez and Paul Walker, at least I found, whereas Hayden Christensen has some good scenes. Chris Brown and T.I. gave some pretty solid performanceswell, despite having heard negative comments about them. Chris Brown and T.I. aren'tgoodEminem was in 8 Mile, but their acting was far from horrible. As for Matt Dillon, I felt he was inconsistent. Great in some scenes, and lousy in others. Most of the time however, the scenes in which he was bad was because I felt he had a bit more cheesy dialogue than the other characters.<br/><br/>The script is unfortunately highly original. As a story itself, it isn't all that bad, but we have some characters who are highly underdeveloped with others who are overdeveloped. The action scenes were (generally) pretty well filmed, but the main plot idea is a little…borrowed from many movies we saw before. The scene I felt was the most stupid was when Jake and Jesse go out to kill the cops (or just basically die there). The main idea isn't all stupid but couldn't we just see the actual shootout instead of just a small part of it? Thank God that the shootout in the hotel room was pretty awesome. The dialogue is sometimes cheesy, but then again, how could one not expect that? Cheezy dialogue, cheesy scenes, unoriginal main idea…Definitely, Takers will not be remembered by many peoplemuch more than it is. It's not a film that will be making it's way to the Golden globes or the Oscars, but there is something about this film that I really enjoyed….Maybe it's the fact that I was actually hoping to be entertained, and that totally happened. I'm actually looking forward to buying this one on DVD.
I think the reason I liked this so much more than other people is because I honestly thought it was going to be DREADFUL. After finishing it, I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't end up hating it. I was actually entertained and it kept my interest. The film is predictablehell, rips off every other heist flick it can get its greedy little hands on, but I actually enjoyed myself.<br/><br/>A group of bank robbers decide to pull off an earlier than expected heist that is offered to them from a former friend who just got out of prison. Their plan is spoiled by a relentless detective and their distrust of their prison pal.<br/><br/>As I mentioned earlier, the film seems perfectly fine taking elements from other heist films like Ocean's 11, Heat and more importantly The Italian Job. Despite these efforts to make the film seem a bit more hip and cool, it does come offa cheap imitator. The opening heist screams Heat and the main one is a direct lift from Italian Job, one character even says "We're going to go Italian Job on this…" So they even acknowledge this, which is fine by me. If they played it offtheir own then I would have been a bit more upset.<br/><br/>The cast has Idris Elba of The Wire fame, he plays the leader of this ragtag group of guys. From what I can tell, his second in command is Paul Walker, who gives us viewers a wonderful scene with his buttocks front and centre. Two rappers, Chris Brown and T.I. are also in the cast, which is where a lot of my concern was. They managed to not get on my nerves, surprisingly. Michael Ealy plays the brother of Chris Brown and he proposes to Zoe Saldana, we are suppose to care for these two characters and hope these kids will make it work.<br/><br/>Then, ladies and gentlemen, I come to the film's secret weapon. Anakin Skywalker himself, Hayden Christensen, who plays A.J. This character is suppose to be the brains behind the operation. What brilliant casting director thought of this one? Who knows, but guess what? As cardboard deliveredit is here, he isn't annoying like he is in other films. He has a scene in which he gets to be a bad ass, so good for him. The juicy role is given to Matt Dillonthe cop on their trail. He is the only one that seems to be giving it his allwell. It might be the character, but everyone else seems to be playing it too cool for school. <br/><br/>Despite my efforts to not like the film, I ended up liking it. So sue me. Even the lame parkour style chase scene had my attention. These guys would be last on my list of guys to call regarding a heist, but they do pull it off. Maybe I have a soft spot for heist films, I shouldn't like this movie, but I did. The entire film I knew what the ending would be and how the events would fall into place. I was even able to call the subplot with the Dillon's partner, played by Jay Hernandez. Takers is a film that many people might call their guilty pleasure. This rating will be generous, I'm in a good mood.
The stunt work is amazing, and the pace is breathless enough to keep one watching right up to the somewhat ambiguous conclusion.
