Takers Movie Review

Takers is taking over! This is one movie where you want to see the takers take it all. This film has an all star cast. Under the direction of John Luessenhop they all give good performances. The takers are Idris Elba, Michael Ealy, Chris Brown, Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen and T.I. Zoe Saldana plays the love interest of Michael Ealy’s character Jake, but she has history with T.I.’s character Ghost. This movie has action, action and more action. Everybody is after something. Some work for a living while others take. These guys look good while they are taking and they have perfected it into an art.  They cold steal you blind and get out in record time and you would never see it coming.

They are so smooth with how they execute every plan, but even the best laid plan can go wrong. The action in this film is awesome! The scene where Chris Brown’s character Jesse is running from the police is high speed action. He literally jumps from buildings and onto moving cars. Then he jumps off and over the cars, hits the street and keeps on running. This scene really draws you in. It is so thrilling to watch!

Matt Dillon plays Jack Welles a cop that is hot on the trail of a bank robbery. He tries to take down Idris Elba and the crew. He is just a cop trying to do his job. But he becomes obsessed with them which lead to no good. There is honor among thieves. These guys prove this until the end. The ending will blow you away! This definitely deserves 4 out of 5 popcorn bags.
