Gordon Jennings (Idris Elba) and his friends enjoy a luxurious lifestyle funded by bank robberies, and they avoid capture by sticking to a strict set of rules. As they celebrate the latest job, a former associate arrives with a daring plan to rob an armored car. The lure of so much cash is too tempting to resist but, unbeknown to Gordon's men, this heist puts them on a collision course with Russian mobsters and a detective (Matt Dillon) who will do anything to capture them.

Critics Consensus

Takers boasts some gripping set pieces and keeps things moving quickly, but its two-dimensional characters, clichéd script, and brazenly derivative plot make it hard to recommend.

Entertaining, not a film that professional film critics will go for, but for the average Joe it's a good film to watch when you just need some action and don't need to listen or see everything to know what's going on, watched it when it came out in 2010, and 13 years later it still entertains

I enjoy heist movies especially when the crew has the smarts. This one was just okay. The ending could have been better! RIP Paul Walker.

You might enjoy the movie if you turn your brain off. There was not one moment after the opener that I was able to believe that this heist crew was as intelligent and disciplined like it was shown in the first few minutes. After Clifford Harris character "Ghost" enters the movie and everyone just leaves their brain at home it was over for me. But if you can get over the plot it might be a good action film for you.

The first 30 min kinda sucks, but from there on, it's actually a cool film. Paul Walker, alba and hayden christianson are standouts, while TI puts on a horrible horrible will smith impression. Chris brown was good and his chase scene was badass. Paul walkers truck scene was the best in the movie and alba had a decent family story. Good action and familer faces elevate this to a Stoned Saturday flashy flick. 6.7/10

Deep Focus Review

This movie was sewn together from bits and pieces of better movies, and that recycled quality never allows the story to take off.

Gone With The Twins

What starts off as a perfectly good, generic heist movie transitions into a contrived mess of overblown theatrics and predictable character twists.
