Released in November 2010, Takers is an action thriller directed by John Luessenhop, featuring a team of sophisticated bank robbers up against a tenacious detective. Featuring a stellar cast including Paul Walker, Idris Elba, Matt Dillon and Hayden Christensen, the film offers a breathtaking tale of ultra-planned heists, internal tensions and relentless police pursuit. Takers will be available on Prime Video from October 20, 2024, offering a dose of spectacular action and suspense.
Gordon Jennings(Idris Elba), John Rahway (Paul Walker), A.J. (Hayden Christensen) and the Attica brothers live in luxury, the fruit of their sophisticated, meticulously orchestrated bank robberies. They pull off just one heist a year, each marked by exceptional daring and flawless planning.
But their latest stunt attracts the attention of Inspector Jack Welles (Matt Dillon), an old-school cop desperate to catch them. Welles, who has sacrificed his private life for his work, is dedicated to catching them. He'll do anything to stop them before they make their next move.
The situation is complicated when a former member of the team, Ghost (Tip "T.I." Harris), resurfaces after a long stay in prison. He offers his former accomplices the ultimate heist, the one that could allow them to leave the criminal world for good. But with only five days to prepare, the gang faces several obstacles: internal rivalry, mounting pressure from Jack Welles, and the unexpected involvement of the Russian mafia, which could jeopardize their entire plan.
Between betrayals, reversals of fortune and explosive confrontations, the team of bank robbers find themselves facing a challenge even more dangerous than they had anticipated. Their daring plan could well be their last...
Takers will appeal to fans of heist andaction films who enjoy dynamic narratives full of suspense and tension. This film will particularly appeal to fans of gangster films like Heat or Ocean's Eleven, where charismatic characters and daring plans are at the heart of the plot.
The originality of Takers lies in the contrast between the elegance of the meticulous heists and the brutality of the stakes, particularly with the arrival of the Russian mafia in the scenario, which adds a new layer of danger. Internal gang relations, marked by betrayal and rivalry, reinforce the narrative tension. The character of Jack Welles, played by Matt Dillon, adds a classic touch to the story, with a stubborn cop who doesn't hesitate to sacrifice everything to catch the criminals.
Available on Prime Video from October 20, 2024, Takers is an explosive action thriller where the world of crime meets personal stakes and explosive rivalries. With outstanding performances from Paul Walker, Idris Elba, and Matt Dillon, this film offers a mix of sophisticated heists, intense chases and dramatic confrontations. A must for fans of crime thrillers and gangster stories where nothing ever goes according to plan.
