Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

adhk-78715 Takers is an action packed movie filled with numerous twists and turns. It has many realistic elements that the audience often overlooks. It has many elements that make it very realistic and relatable to the audience. It stars many known actors and was directed by John Luessenhop. John Luessenhop has directed films including Lockdown and Texas Chainsaw. He also created and directed multiple series including Mind Games, Kyle Kellen, Lone Star on FOX and Awake on NBC. Although Takers is Luessenhop's most famous film, he has contributed and been a part of many other projects. Matt Dillon, T.I., Idris Elba, Michael Ealy, Paul Walker, Chris Brown, and Hayden Chrisitensen star in this action thriller. Having seen these actors in previous action and drama movies is what sparked my interest to watch this film. Idris Elba and his associates live a spectacular life due to numerous bank robberies, that they avoid getting caught for. A former member (T.I.) comes and interrupts their celebration about a current job. They are offered their biggest job yet, but contemplate if this ridiculous amount of cash is worth the risk. I found this movie to be realistic is some was and no tin others. For example, crimes do happen often, especially in big cities. There are usually groups of people and sometimes single people who choose to commit crimes, more specifically, bank robbery. Showing events that also happen in real life makes it relatable to its viewers. The element that makes it unrealistic is how they get away with the crime. (Spoiler Alert) They rob the bank by hacking the cameras in the bank and coming in through the elevators from the roof. In real life, this would most likely not work. Anyone or any group of people that have robbed a bank hardly ever get away with it without being caught. In this film, there are also many hidden morals within the plot. I can explain some of them, without giving spoilers. For example, there is a sense of brotherhood between the guys that the director wants the audience to notice. Expressing the loyalty between the guys is a very important attribute to the film. This is another element that makes the film realistic. This film has a original plot to me because I most crime movies, it is usually shot from the victim's perspective and not the actual robbers. Takers shows what the "robbers" thought an how they planned to get away with the crime. Being a rated PG-14 movie, there is not a lot of bad language. There is some language, but none that would be too bad to take a young child to see. The rating comes more from the effects. There a lot of guns and explosives that are used. This also adds to the originality of the movie. There are similar action movies that have similar dynamics but I have not seen any that accomplished the same morals and themes as this movie. I rate this film 8 out of 10 stars because I think it has a wonderful story line that keeps the audience interested. It represents the different elements well, such as plot, acting, directing, and script. It is a movie that is definitely worth the watch and will keep you on the edge of your seat every second.

alindsay-al I like a good heist film so I was interested in this film but boy does it fail to deliver. The premise of this shows us a skilled group of bank robbers who manage to avoid the cops. When an ex member of the crew gets out of prison he comes to them for their biggest job yet. Now I really like idris Elba, I think he is good in about everything he does and that continues in this film. He was the main presence in the film and he was good in the role. Unfortunately, just like every person in this film you don't like or care about his character because he has no real good things about him. The late Paul walker is in this film and he was very bland in this movie, he just didn't really add anything to the movie as a whole. The cop who is chasing after him has no real likable things about him either, we are meant to be rooting for him but you are never given a reason to. The worst performance though has to go to anakin Skywalker himself Hayden Christensen. He was so bad in this film and looked ridiculous, I don't think this guy is a good actor and this film backs me up. The story is all over the place, it focuses on the cops going after the crooks more then the heist which was the only part I was interested in. It trys to give you really forced reasons to like these people even though they are bad people and it just doesn't work. The script is pretty terrible and doesn't allow any of these guys the real chance to shine and makes them all look pretty stupid. The style had some okay action scenes and well done parkour scenes. But there was allot of use of shaky cam and slow motion that really felt out of place. Overa I really didn't like this movie so I don't advise you see it.

sven_nilsson-1 Well, something went wrong here. The plot is coming along too fast and it is very poorly directed. It does not give you enough time to reflect over what is unfolding and it is difficult to gain any interest in the characters and to understand any of the background story. It feels extremely fragmented, with each scene shot being way too short, and with uninteresting dialogue forcefully thrown in at a high pace.Successful bank job movies are typically characterized by the heist itself being conducted in a very clever manner, possibly in combination with some really impressive action scenes. 'Takers' lacks on both parts, although some of the action scenes are quite OK. I'm not impressed.

DanMarinoFan13 One of the worst films i have ever watched, just awful. The acting was confusing to me. I couldn't tell if they were acting so poorly on purpose. I don't understand how they showed such a awful film in the theaters. The only good part about the film was talking about with other people who watched it as well. It was good conversation to talk about how it was so bad. Most people I talked to turned it off. I couldn't stop watching it. I don't think I would have enjoyed this film even if I saw it when I was 12 years old. I would hope they are going to make a sequel for this film. The sequel should be all women this time playing the takers.
