APRIL 2010
April 30, 2010 - Takers Notorious Badasses - Moviefone's Summer Movie Guide - 25 Reasons to be Psyched about Summer 2010 - "25. Chris Brown, T.I. and Hayden Christensen, notorious badasses. 'Takers' features a rather unusual cast (Idris Elba, Paul Walker and Michael Ealy in addition to the above-mentioned three) playing a gang of infamous, unbeatable criminals, which makes us very curious about this stylish-looking action/crime flick. The plot concerns (yep) one last high-stakes job and a hardened detective (Matt Dillon) who tries to intercept it." (August 27) Moviefone
