post signature In Takers, group of upscale heist experts (played
by Paul Walker, Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen and others) are
approached by a former team member (T.I.) with a plan to rob an
armored car. They agree to the job and begin preparing for it a
la The Italian Job. Meanwhile, a hard-boiled cop (Matt Dillon),
using clues from the gang’s last bank robbery, starts closing in
on their operation.  ClearPlay In Action!  There are about 120
instances of profanity cleaned up by ClearPlay in this caper
film, along with a scene of sensuality and some of the bloodier
violence. There is still a lot of gunplay, and though it’s not
graphic, it’s profuse; the last 20 minutes is almost constant
gunfire. Maybe more problematic is the tone. By following the
criminals’ plan and casting handsome, recognizable stars in the
roles, the movie tends to glamorize crime. ClearPlayed, it’s
probably okay for mid- to older teens, but there’s a pervasive
feeling of, “What’s the point?”  Will I be taken by Takers?…
