Takers
2010
With their collective eye on a huge payoff, a motley crew of bank robbers (including Paul Walker, Michael Ealy, Chris Brown and Hayden Christensen) get busy planning out their next heist. Their former colleague, Ghost (T.I.), convinces the boys to target an armored car carrying $20 million. But a detective (Matt Dillon) who's obsessed with his work is just as obsessed with making sure the T.I.ves never pull off their scheme.

Simple plot and well acted but the story line moves entirely too slow.
Some good moments and a lot of interestingly stylistic camera work, but perpetuates the "thieves as heroes" concept--the only really bad guys are those who don't maintain loyalty. The sense of camaraderie is enjoyable, on both sides of the law.
