If you like action, a star-studded cast and suspense all in one, then “Takers,” starring T.I., Zoe Saldona, Chris Brown, Paul Walker and Idris Elba, is a must see.
“The movie was one of the best heist-action movies I’ve seen in a while. I was skeptical about Chris Brown and T.I. making the transition from musicians to a big acting debut but they were phenomenal,” Shae Mcpherson, sophomore exercise science major, said.
The movie features five men constructing a plan to rob a bank after their colleagues are released from prison for the involvement in other successful robberies. The basic plot of the movie was not phenomenal but the acting made this film a favorite among many.
“I thought the movie was epic and the ending was wild,” Anders Aronson, sophomore exercise science major, said.
Although critics gave “Takers” awful reviews and doubted the success of the film, it generated significantly more money than its competing film, “ The Last Exorcism,” which premiered the same weekend.
It surprised many by becoming the No. 1 movie two weeks in a row, bringing in $39 million. The movie was also a comeback for two very popular celebrities who suffered recent scrutiny from the media. T.I. and Chris Brown both overcame issues in their personal lives and recaptured their fans by the success of this film. By the looks of it, the public has forgiven both men and supported this movie.
From the action-packed drama to the deceitful trickery, “Takers” keeps you on the edge of your seat and wanting more the entire time. Many have called this movie a modern day “Oceans 11” but the film certainly delivers individuality that separates it from the rest.
