Takers gets a trailer.

The film with the dime-store photoshopped poster gets a relatively bland trailer. The climactic action stunt is impressive and there are a couple decent names (Hayden Christensen can act when he has to and Idris Elba is such a good actor that he makes his retarded cop in Prom Night look whip-smart). But the film and its premise looks as generic as can be. Unless the reviews are good, this won't even be on most peoples' radar come February 19th (especially since most film-goers will be checking out the rescheduled Shutter Island over the same weekend).
