Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'The Takers'
If you decide to take part in a major bank heist, be sure your crew is cool, way cool. Sinatra and Clooney taught us that in “Ocean’s 11” and who could forget Wahlberg and Theron in “The Italian Job?” But, the youth movement begs for an urban hip hop cool. So here, the homies be stylin’ and chllin’ to some funky tunes – know what we mean?
