Takers is a sterling example of how a movie can take a basic, appealing idea — bank robbers who plan their infrequent crimes so meticulously they never get caught, living the high-life in between jobs — and turn it into something that you could easily watch while brushing your teeth, clipping your toenails, plucking your eyebrows. The movie at least attempts to offer some textbook pleasures: Director John Luessenhop gives us several elaborate shoot-outs, a killer explosion here and there, even a glitzy-classy shopping montage (and you thought those were only for girly movies like Sex and the City ). But Takers is so indistinguished that it starts fading from memory as soon as the end credits start rolling. It comes to the party overdressed and still fails to make an impression.
