I liked that it was a suspenseful and intense heist movie without the excessive language and graphic violence. More realistic ending too!

A very good saurday afternoon movie. The action is great and some great tension is created. The action isn't cheesy like a lot of other similar movies, it's big, but kept very tight and in control. The guy "T.I" I found very annoying, and just didn't fit with the rest of what was a very good cast

Heat for retards.

"Remember when Paul Walker had a career, Matt Dillon had indie credibility, Jay Hernandez was just a cute face, and Chris Brown was an R&B singer without a rap sheet?" - Paul Schrodt

A heist flick pulled off with so much visual conviction that the narrative shortcomings only hurt the ending. That, and just killer action scenes.

Painfully bad.

The action parts were allright, but whenever the movie slowed down everything from bad acting to a bad script went wrong... I like the idea of not having a central character in a movie like this, but dammit this one is poorly executed! And Chris Brown as a parkour bad ass... Give me a break!

Wonder if Chris Brown had the idea of the Parkour-scene....run of the mill brainless action movie, but turn off the brain and it's not that bad.

Poor.

I love Idris Elba and always love seeing him in a gangster/criminal role (you know, cuz of the Wire). Unfortunately I also hate Chris Brown and TI deserved to be hit by Brown. Ultimately this movie fails to be a more serious Oceans 11 (which it wanted to be).

nice cars, nice suits and lots of action 10 out of 10 really cool cast of stars

A couple of cool action scenes can't make up for the poor acting and generic script which even admits to borrowing from other movies in its dialogue.

T.I is so hood

REVIEW TO DO

decent enough film but Chris Brown cant act, shame could have been alot better. Idris Elba, Christensen and Walker again played great roles!!

"Takers refines a genre that has been hollowed-out by the cold repetitions of such cliché movies as Soderbergh's Oceans franchise..."

T.I. is awful. It's bad when the best actor was Paul Walker.

The movie is yet another action movie which has an extremely predictable story and a lot of brainless shooting. The movie tries to be extremely stylish but doesnt make the cut. The chase which has the feature of parkour doesnt look natural either. The movie can be entertaining for a few but overall the movie is below par.

Despite ripping off every heist film before it I found this to be a somewhat fun film to watch.The acting,except by Matt Dillion, just barely suffices.The action set pieces were cool even if they have been done before.

Here's the kind of movie you glance at on a Saturday afternoon while walking back and forth to the kitchen. Everything in the movie has been seen and done before. Want a better crime thriller? Check out The Town, Heat, or even the silly 2003 Italian Job (which this movie references and steals ideas from). Filled with mostly low-rent actors, a few bad actors, hyper-stylized bloodless violence, and some senseless plotting, 'Takers' can be entertaining here and there, but it's not worth your time.

recycled ideas, formulaic storyline, good to watch when you just don't feel like using your brain to think because the story is so predictable. suitable to watch with your buddies over a crate of beer

not a very good movie.

- avoid at all costs

I'm not much of a fan of crime-action movies, but I have seen a few, and Takers is just the same old material, especially compared with the remakes of Ocean's Eleven and The Italian Job. Maybe a big fan of crime-action will enjoy this, but this movie is only good for something to watch while distracted.

I just got took.

Try not to think too much while viewing this movie, it may help. Didn't help me though.
