Takers (2010)


A seasoned bunch of bank robbers live out a life of luxury after a successful heist are lured by a friend and ex con to do one more job....the big one.
Plus points, well it's a pretty good cast, The Wire's Idris Elba (with dodgy cockerknee accent), Matt Dillon, Hayden Christensen, Zoe Saldana etc but sadly the movie is one big clichéd mess with mumbling dialogue, seen it all before action set pieces, bodies and bullets fly across the screen including a near finale that would rival a certain scene from 'Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels'...but without the humour and tongue in cheek.

Fairly enjoyable over it's bloated 107 minutes running time but
on the whole, fairly forgettable.
