Takers (2010)
This crime drama has a large cast including Matt Dillon, Paul Walker, Idris Elba, Jay Hernandez and Hayden Christensen. A gang of thieves plan a robbery on a tight deadline after a former member of the gang has been released from jail and a cop tries to hunt them down.
There is very little original about this film and that is a major problem when it comes to heist films as half the fun is seeing how the gang try to pull off the robbery, what is even worse is that the characters even acknowledge they stole their plan off The Italian Job (2003). We are supposed to feel sympathy for the members of the gang that end up being killed but there seems to be little or no reason for this. While some of the action sequences are pretty cool they are ruined by the direction which includes large amounts of fast cutting and wobbly camera movements.
2/5 a poor effort.
