Slick, stylish, and flush with studliness, Takers follows a cadre of thieves as they plot a tricky new heist. The movie has two strengths: it deftly juggles three intertwining plot lines (the mechanics of the heist itself; the maneuvering of the police hunting the thieves; and the scheming of a former member of the gang who feels betrayed) and it walks a fine line between just enough realism to make us care about the thieves (the performances are effectively understated) and just enough absurdity to make everything entertaining (each of the guys has his own fancy car!). It doesn't hurt that the man flesh is all ridiculously handsome (Paul Walker, Idris Elba, Chris Brown, Jan Hernandez, Hayden Christensen, even old-school hunk Matt Dillon) and smashingly tailored in swank suits. And there are a handful of high-energy sequences--including a chase that features zippy parkour climbing stunts through moving traffic--that give the story clichés a nice jolt of pep. All in all, Takers probably won't stick in your memory very long, but it's good fun while it lasts. --Bret Fetzer

the new Oceans Eleven,

This review is from: Takers Bilingual (DVD)
an all-star cast makes this movie great as a team of bank robbers tries to pull of their last great heist. Pursued by a pair of cops who'll stop at nothing to catch them the team must always stay one step ahead...and luckily they do. Yet one of the teams former members who was recently released from prison sets them up with this mega heist which is too good to be true. Nothing can stop them though as they're simply known as "Takers".Excellent cast, excellent story. Kept me glued to the screen for the full film. Bonus features on the basic DVD are lacking and limited to a commentary and a music video from TI ignore the review complaining about the camera work. Aside from 1 scene that lasts for maybe 1 minute the camera work is fine. In that one scene it jumps around a bit too much but nothing that ruins the film especially since its such an unimportant scene in the grand scheme of things Pick this one up...you won't be disappointed!

awfull camera work,

This review is from: Takers Bilingual [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Here is one movie destroyed by camera work.When will these idiots realize that to change camera every 2 seconds and prevent the audience to follow the actions is not really fun to watch.This movie could have been a great one ,but this camera work is so annoying. How can you enjoy a chase if you can't even follow it.There is so many people are complaining about this but Hollywood keep using the same stupid editing.I will stop watching action movies until they film them properly.They ruined this one too.
