#1 Movie in America? Yes, it did sell the most tickets over last weekend, but that doesn't make this movie the number 1 movie in the land, not by an epically long shot even. Honestly, I think Screen Gems inflated their box office numbers to beat out "The Last Exorcism", so they could utilize the tagline above, that this movie doesn't deserve.
During a trailer for this movie, I remember seeing that a critic considered this to be, "This generations Heat". That person should lose their job immediately. I know that is harsh, but Takers isn't even in the same league as Heat, let alone a movie like "The Italian Job" or even Ocean's Thirteen.
It was just bad all around. The only positive aspects to take from it are: a very solid performance from Idris Elba (he's really emerged this year), Paul Walker's film career may be over (Oh wait, filming is already underway for Fast and Furious 5...), and Chris "Breezy" Brown out-acted fellow musician Tip "T.I." Harris without question.
