I just watched it and I have to say that I loved it. It was not your typical run of the mill heist film. It had twists, turns, and an interesting plot. Not to mention the cast was hot! The writing was pretty phenomenal as well. I don't know why people are hating on this movie and on the cast so much... HATERS!!!
shareBesides the fact that the cast was hot, I liked the action and how the cop (Matt Dillon's character) pieced together the puzzle. People are too nit-picky. Everyone is an amateur movie critic and most of them could not act in, write, or direct a movie any better.
What a waste. Oh, the humanity!
Well I loved it. I'll admit I was mostly there for the men but either way, I found it engaging and I rooted for both the cops and the thieves.
shareI really liked the movie. Of course it is playing in the 'sandbox' that 'Heat' perfected but it did a very good job. I for one will be picking this one up on Blu-ray when it comes out.

It was a bit run of the mill actually but still pretty good imo.
What's more dangerous than sincere ignorance?
didn't expect a new 'citizen kane', so, of course i found it thoroughly enjoyable. fast-paced and action filled. good stuff!

My daughter and I loved it. We wanted to be entertained and we were entertained...ton of action, a slight amount of comedy. This was a good movie.

Haters?
Cheesy action scenes.
Script sucked.
Matt Dillons character has to be the worst cop on movies. He failed at everything he did in the movie, he even blew his daughter off.
Ghost: We all knew Ghost was going to stab them in the back from the beginning. DUH
Chris Browns spiderman stunts really came out of nowhere and were ridiculous.
His brother was a pu$$y! His gf just got killed, he holds her in his arms saying: "I'm going to kill you Ghost." Next scene, he's decides to kill himself. EPIC FAIL
Haydens character acting like a hero in a gunfight that DID NOT require his martyr assistance. First fool to get killed just because.
Carvers sister almost gave me a heartattack at the end when she pops out of the backseat of the car. Ugly mofo who fails at getting herself together.
The only positives are Paul Walker and Steve Harris' characters. Plus the first robbery. The rest was just a bunch of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5atPYaxX0lM

Well it's obvious the OP is biased IN favor of the film because she thinks the cast is hot and that is fine but since i am a guy and i am not a hater of the cast i think in all honesty the film is just OK. (i seen a total of around 1300 movies to)
i gave 'Takers' a 6/10. it was OK for a single viewing but ultimately not a film i would care to see again which pretty much means i give it a Thumbs Down at the end of the day. (generally speaking... 6/10 or lower = Thumbs Down. 7/10 or higher = Thumbs Up)
the only real weak link in the film as far as acting went was Chris Brown but even he was nothing horrible. (surely no where near enough to effect my overall rating of the film one way or the other)
but it does appear that the 2 most common votes are either a 1/10 or 10/10 which is not to rational because if you look at vote details about 40percent of the votes went with either a 1/10 or 10/10 which it's pretty obvious this film is neither regardless if you liked the film more or less than i did.
