The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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

This movie about professional bank robbers is very interesting. I've seen this flick a few time before in the past, and i casually started streaming this on Netflix tonight simply because i couldn't find anything else to watch and i found this film riveting, i couldn't stop watching. Of all the times I've watched this film I haven't enjoyed this movie as much as i have tonight and i believe Rewatching films is a good thing because you miss things that you didn't catch before and / or for reasons unknown - you simply enjoy a film the more you Rewatch it.Takers is a fast-paced heist flick. I don't usually watch heist films because they are overrated, but Takers is good to watch if you can't find anything else to stream. The characters are what they are. I don't think the viewers need to like these characters, and i don't think that we need to hate them, it's simply a movie literally about cops and robbers. There's plenty of action, decent performances, and a great film score composed by Paul Haslinger. The best scene of the entire movie in my opinion is the chase scene in the mall with Chris Brown. The ambiguous ending about whether Idris Elba and Matt Dillons' character's will survive their injuries could drive you crazy, but if you just look at this film for what it is which is a couple of hours of entertainment, you can overlook what the Director John Luessenhop is trying to do with that ending.

This film is called Takers, because (as one of the characters explain)it is about people who take things.The crew is full of interesting and likable characters who all have their own little talent that helps them in their caper. I use the words 'little talent' here deliberately. There is no mad Russian assassin or Chinese acrobat or geeky computer savant just some guys who are good at stealing stuff.It is like the director really wanted to take this movie seriously and ground it with a level of realism and sincerity. The rest is left up to the characters. This sounds great on paper but ( I am stabbing myself in the leg with pins as I say this) it makes for quite a dull movie.There are three scenes of intense action, the rest of the time is spent hanging around in bars.Well made, well acted, well written an enjoyable movie - just nothing special.

This century has seen a large number of heist movies, and it seems that all new angles have been already exploited and many movies are largely based on clichés and expected turns. So is mostly the movie in question, being a typical US movie, but with a British-style ending... The tensions are still up high, there are lots of compulsory action thriller elements and most of the latter are thrilling to watch (although their pace and length is uneven and plausibility is questionable).Level of the cast, however, is very floating, as for the leading actors, only Matt Dillon as Jack Welles and Idris Elba as Gordon Cozier are up to the scratch (additionally, there are some good supporting actors), the rest are nothing special, and the phenomenon of e.g. Hayden Christensen has always been a mystery to me...Anyway, if you like thrillers where pondering and action take turns, then Takers will be okay at least. Otherwise, the imaginary list called "heist movies" include dozens of far better creations.
