Takers

Over the weekend I was able to watch the 2010 crime flick, Takers.  I was told by many (mostly female) people that the movie was worth the watch, so I decided I would give it a try. From the opening bank heist I could see why the opposite sex would enjoy this film as it stars Hollywood's youngest in Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen and R&B crooner Chris Brown.

The story seems all to familiar as it dabbles in other crime movies like Heat, Carlito's Way and Collateral.  Matt Dillon also stars as the cop chasing after the "cool bad guys with guns."  The only noteworthy performance in the film was surprisingly Hayden Christensen. Despite his shotty performance as Anakin Skywalker, Christensen delivers and often carries the film.

All in all, the movie is just a heavily-cliched crime movie with a little something for the ladies.  
Any takers? No.
