The 14th Annual American Black Film Festival opened in Miami with critics claiming it to be, ‘the best opening night ever‘. ABFF opening film, the ‘Takers’ starring Idris Elba, was a double feature, and was well received by attendees.
TAKERS, directed by John Luessenhop, revolves around a notorious group of criminals (Idris Elba, Paul Walker, T.I., Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen and Michael Ealy) who continue to baffle police by pulling off perfectly executed bank robberies. They are in and out like clockwork, leaving no evidence behind and laying low in between heists. But when they attempt to pull off one last job with more money at stake than ever before, the crew may find their plans interrupted by a hardened detective (Matt Dillon) who is hell-bent on solving the case.
