Takers

The genre of this film would be an, Action, Crime, Thriller. The storyline of this film is; A seasoned team of bank robbers, including Gordon Jennings (Idris Elba), John Rahway (Paul Walker), A.J. (Hayden Christensen), and brothers Jake (Michael Ealy) and Jesse Attica (Chris Brown) successfully complete their latest heist and lead a life of luxury while planning their next job. When Ghost (Tip T.I. Harris), a former member of their team, is released from prison he convinces the group to strike an armored car carrying $20 million. As the "takers" carefully plot out their strategy and draw nearer to exacting the grand heist, a reckless police officer (Matt Dillon) inches closer to apprehending the criminals.

I really enjoyed this film, most films give you sides to favour, and show you the bad guys very clearly. With this film they don't, I think what they try to do is give you both perspectives, and allow you to make your own decision to which team you are going to back. I feel what I really enjoyed about this film is that you couldn't really sit back and say what was going to happen next, this was due to the editing in which took place. This film included lots of Diegetic sound, which helps the film feel more realistic. There was more melodrama than I was expecting, but I think it helped give the movie an ounce of depth.

This image shown above is a shot of two brother that are in the team of the bank robbers, this shot is taken just before they give there lives. This particular shot was used to help show the relationship, and how close the two brothers were, and that they were prepared to fight until the end.
