This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How do you bring in over 6 top male talents from their respective fields to produce a horrible film? Create "Takers," add Chris Brown, T.I., Michael Ealy and few others to a ridiculous script that allows them to have long drawn out, unrealistic shoot outs in a luxury hotel room. To make it even worst, have Chris Brown leap off of a tall building onto a parked car without hurting himself. This was the worst film ever and I will not be taking movie tips from my a certain person ever again. This was a play on intelligence with big names. I do not recomment wasting even 5 minutes of your precious life.… Expand

Black Ocean's Eleven targeted towards a hip-hop audience. No, I didn't see this movie. Atleast two of the actors commited felonies in real life, so I guess I was disappointed that they couldn't even convince me they were criminals in the trailer.

"Takers" is a teenage crime thriller (or is it drama?). It's so crappy and terrible you can say its the "Twilight" of the crime genre.

The story is about a team of robbers (Idris Elba, Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen, Micheal Ealy, Chris Brown) who get reunited with Ghost (T.I) who convinces them into doing a multi million dollar heist, with a hard boiled detective (Matt Dillon) and his partner (Jay Hernedez) hot on their trail. Takers has a very intresting plot and most of the characters play out well, till the very very bad second half. Director John Lussenhop struggles to find the genre of his flick, part musical, part romantic drama, part action, part adventure and part drug therapy movie. The movie is 70's high octane trash, and is a very dissapointing crime thriller. The main thrill is very dissapointing and the movie still manages to get the action altogether. Because, Takers is about the win of the bad guys, not the good guys. Takers is a huge disappointment and a bad use of such a greatly assembled cast. Ignore this one.… Expand

It usually takes about five minutes to judge if a movie is watchable or not. With this one, it took me only six seconds to judge that it is pure crap.

With this one, it took me only six seconds to judge that it is pure crap. Come on guys...this is so ridiculous, with everybody forcefully trying to act cool, like teenagers in a bar, delivering cool onliners which really never actually are cool.
Incredible that these kind of movies still get made...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the worst and most boring movies I have ever watched in my entire life. I really hate this movie. It was so horrible that I fell asleep a bunch of times during the movie. The cast is horrible with the exception of Idris Elba and Paul Walker. This movie is a total snooze-fest and all of the characters suck. The acting is awful, especially from Chris Brown and T.I. "Tip" Harris. They both should just stick to rapping/singing instead of acting. The only good acting performance comes from Idris Elba. Idris Elba was the only good thing about this horrible snooze-fest. None of the characters in this movie are even remotely interesting nor memorable. I never really cared for any of them. They're all just cardboard characters who the audience shouldn't even care about. The characters are all one-dimensional and lame. The camerawork is horrible. The shaky cam was really annoying and nauseating. It looked like the movie was being shot by a college film student's camera. Even the action scenes were extremely boring, incredibly dull, and super lame. Watching Takers was just like watching Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance all over again. I cannot believe this garbage film has an 8.0 user score. How so many people like this dumpster juice is beyond me. The user score should be generally unfavorable reviews and low ratings (0-3).

SPOILER WARNING:
Every main character in the movie dies at the end except for Idris Elba and Paul Walker's characters. I felt no emotion when any of the characters died. I never cared for any of them. All of the characters are boring, lame, horrible, horribly written, forgettable, and one-dimensional.… Expand
