Takers movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: The performers are given stock types to play, and Elba and Dillon, at least, can do a little with that. Read more
Mary F. Pols, MSN Movies: As long as you understand exactly what kind of hack cinema you are getting into, Takers can be pretty fun. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Conceived and executed with just enough skill and flair to make you wish it were better. Read more
Nathan Rabin, AV Club: A heist thriller that feels suspiciously like a feature-length commercial for expensive liquor. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Takers might have made a perfectly decent little B heist movie, but someone had to go and forget to give the cameraman his Ritalin. Read more
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader: Laughable subplots about Elba's addicted sister (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) and Dillon's crooked partner (Jay Hernandez) only slow the action, which is all this movie has going for it. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: Someone has to say it, so I will: Shaky cam is out of control. Read more
Adam Graham, Detroit News: Takers is a slick heist film, but that's all it is. Read more
Adam Markovitz, Entertainment Weekly: At least they do look sharp in those suits. Read more
Stephen Farber, Hollywood Reporter: The stunt work is amazing, and the pace is breathless enough to keep one watching right up to the somewhat ambiguous conclusion. Read more
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: Even with all of the action, and with a few plot twists that are kinda cool, there's really not enough to Takers to make it worth your time. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: A crackling crime drama assembled from a scrap heap of hoary cliches, Takers proves that everything old can sometimes really be new again. Read more
Ian Buckwalter, NPR: With no emotional heft to the performances, it's hard to care whether anyone's dreams are dashed or fulfilled. That leaves the heist itself to compensate, but it only digs deeper into tired action movie cliches. Read more
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: Amidst the gangsta posing and some overly operatic shootouts, [Dillon] helps give Takers some crucial currency. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: A Michael Mann-ish heist thriller with a pulse-pounding foot chase and some terrific stunt work offsetting its hackneyed plot and dialogue. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: It's hard to imagine anyone who sees the movie not being at least moderately engaged. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Once you get past the recycled quality of the characters and dialogue, the movie has some stylish action sequences and moderately clever plot turns. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The screenplay is credited to four writers, director John Luessenhop among them, and they've all been busy cutting-and-pasting from other movies. Read more
Time Out: Director John Luessenhop's aggressive approach to action scenes is frequently inspired. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: The dialogue is cliched and laughable. It's a film far more concerned with style -- architectural, vehicular and wardrobe-related -- than substance. Read more
John Anderson, Washington Post: Luessenhop and his antic camera are after a kineticism that eludes them: He shoots too closely; he's practically crawling up his characters' nostrils with his unhinged camera. Read more
