Sep 11 2009'Takers' Trailer: These Guys Have Such Explosion Apathy They Must Be Awesome
Did all the cut-and-pasted heads on the Takers poster get you super worked up to see why Hayden Christensen was dressed up like a high-class rude boy? Of course it did. And now you can sate that desire with this trailer for the generic heist film.
In the film, The Wire's Idris Elba leads a crew of rappers (T.I.), singing domestic abusers (Chris Brown), Jedi (Christensen), and Paul Walkers (Paul Walker) in the robbery of somewhere between $25 and $30 million. But it won't be easy: Matt Dillon is on the case to stop them! I doubt he does, though. Have you seen this heist crew? They casually walk away from exploding helicopters! That's the criterion for bad-ass dudes. At least until someone comes up with something even more awesomely dangerous to nonchalantly stroll away from. Maybe a Tyrannosaurus holding a samurai sword?
How does Idris Elba get on some of the best TV shows (The Wire, The Office) but the worst movies (remember Obsessed)?
So... any TAKERS? Hahaha!

That explosion apathy is eclipsed only by its awesome ::snicker:: Boyz in the Hood-esque poster:

Move looks like Italian job (but much worse) and The Fast and the Furious (equally as bad) rolled into one but just about every retard in America is gonna see it and be like "Oh shit that movie was so tight!"

haha, and all those eagle eyed pundits who called this fake based on the photoshopped poster...
never underestimate the mediocrity of some design workers.

Being a sucker for any narrative with an obsessive detective hunting down a master criminal, I'll watch it

Why wouldn't you want to watch the explosion? I never understood that! I always imagine those same guys walking away from all the other amazing things in their lives: wives giving birth, enormous banana splits, etc.

This is a movie, like in a theater movie?

Samuri sword?! With those tiny arms? Trust me, the best a T-Rex can do is a dagger and a throwing star. V-Raptors can hold RPGs, so watch out :)

Oh man, this is like the gay version of Heat.

This looks like crap. I'll watch it right after "Armored".
Looks like the black guy in the middle let a fart escape.
@ 6 - : P They don't want anyone to think they're involved. "No, I've never seen that woman before"

Elba is a really good actor too. I think it has to do with him actually being British. He fooled a lot of people while on the wire with his Balmer accent and Im not sure US moviegoers are ready for him in a big role yet. Might take sometime. Look how long it has taken for Gerard Butler.
