Takers Paul Walker Idris Elba Hayden Christensen 24 8 10 kc Takers: Movie Review

Takers is what happens when half of Danny Ocean’s crew is combined with the team from The Italian Job, and the assassins from 1998’s The Big Hit. These are professional thieves, who dress nice, drive fast cars (and bikes), and aren’t afraid to kill someone when it comes to their money. Takers isn’t a particularly special heist movie but the actors try their best to make it one (and they look pretty good while doing it).

This movie has alot of action and great firer works but I thought actors like T.I. could have been more believing. The more seem to be the same old story line if you ask me, I thought fans bought in to the same story that has been passed down from hollywood over and over again.

The features Young Jeezy Mike Epps and a few other well known celebs who make the movie a really good watch. Ice Cube and Mike Epps are two shady promoters who bring Young Jeezy in town and, but try to skip out on paying him.

As result of there action they get into a whole lot of trouble and have all kind of people chasing them for the money. This movie looks like it is a really good watch can't wait until the movie comes out.
