Review of Takers

Takers (2010)
4/10
An aimless miss mash of copied ideas

This film is pretty bad. I cant think of a single thing good about this film and I love movies. Lets start with the cast, matt dillon has been great recently but his character has no back story, hes a determined cop with no obvious motivation. On the evil side of the plot none of the actors have enough time on screen to shine as individuals. Paul walker and idris elba can carry a film but mixed in with musicians doing cameos they completely lose their shine. The film moves quickly offering no back story to any character and the most shallow of motivations for most of them, so quickly that you cant follow or maintain interest in the plot. The heist parts of the plot are lifted from numerous other films, die hard, Italian job 2002 remake etc. Its hard to believe they managed to produce not much from so much potential. The icing on the cake is idris elba not being able to manage an English accent despite being from London.
