kind of cool, but not nearly as cool as it wants to be or thinks it is
by A.O. Scott [NY Times ]
It's a film far more concerned with style - architectural, vehicular and wardrobe-related - than substance
by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]
flatly playing the some tone, the same pitch
by Roger Moore [Orlando Sentinel ]
feels vaguely like a recreation of another action movie recast with out-of-work celebrities
by Paul Schrodt [Slant Magazine ]
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. Cue violins.
by Betsy Sharkey [LA Times ]
a tough-guy bore
by Ty Burr [Boston Globe ]
a tall, refreshing, ice-cool chaser to a long, mostly dry summer movie season.
by Rene Rodriguez [Miami Herald ]
a respectable but watered-down heist movie
by Brian Lowry [Variety ]
a real B-movie cast who can chew scenery with the best of them
