Action. Thriller A notorious group of criminals manage to baffle police by pulling off perfectly executed bank robberies. They are in and out like clockwork, leaving no evidence behind and laying low in between heists. But when they attempt to pull off one last job with more money at stake than ever before, the crew may find their plans interrupted by a hardened detective (Matt Dillon) who is hell-bent on solving the case.

	Author	Review
United States	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"	POS
United States	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"	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"A respectable but watered-down heist movie"	NEU
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"The dialogue is clichéd and laughable. It's a film far more concerned with style -- architectural, vehicular and wardrobe-related -- than substance"	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[It] was conceived and executed with just enough skill and flair to make you wish it were better"	NEU
United States	Tom Charity CNN	"There is nothing original here but at least [the director] is stealing from the best (...) It helps that the action scenes are top-notch"	NEU
