  by Jeff Vice [Deseret News ]

  by Steve Ramos [Boxoffice Magazine ]

• flatly playing the some tone, the same pitch

  by Roger Moore [Orlando Sentinel ]

• feels vaguely like a recreation of another action movie recast with out-of-work celebrities

  by Paul Schrodt [Slant Magazine ]

• Even with all of the action, and with a few plot twists that are kinda cool, there's really not enough to "Takers" to make it worth your time. Cue violins.

  Review rate : B by Gary Thompson [Philadelphia Daily News ]
