Buyersan unprecedented robbery for Paul Walker
In 2010, in front of John Luessenhop’s camera, a splendid cast came to life Buyers. This heist film reunites Matt Dillon, Idris Elba, Michael Ealy and Tip “TI” Harris, Hayden Christensen and Jay Hernandez, Chris Brown and Zoe Saldana, and finally Paul Walker in his penultimate non-franchise film Fast & Furious.
Buyers tells the story of a team of bank robbers with spectacular methods, who will find themselves fighting the Russian mafia and a duo of very determined policemen when their new robbery turns out to be a plan to eliminate them. The critics, who in their majority did not receive the film well and highlighted the simplistic characterization of its characters as well as its cliché-filled scenario, yet noted it some action scenes were worth the detour.
And among those who appreciated the film, we find Stephen Kingmaster of horror and terror literature, who place it high his 10 best films of the year 2010.
“The van robbery is the best action scene I’ve seen this year”
In first place in that year’s rankings was Stephen King Let me in, horror film directed by Matt Reeves. Then it arrives The city AND Start to complete the podium, therefore The social network and so Buyers. A good fifth place, move on Kick assfor the film with Paul Walker which Stephen King describes thus:
This satisfying and complex cops-and-robbers film features great performances from Matt Dillon, Idris Elba and – incredibly but true – Hayden Christensen. The climax isn’t believable, but the characters have authenticity and the van robbery is the best action scene I’ve seen this year.
A sequel planned and then cancelled
With an estimated budget of $32 million, Buyers almost relationships $70 million turnover worldwide, of which 57.7 in the United States. A success and a sufficient performance to immediately be considered for a sequel to this genre film. Actually, rather than a ContinuationIt would be a prequel where we will discover the activities of this gang of thieves before Ghost, the character played by TI, is sent to prison – he leaves at the beginning of Buyers –.
Unfortunately, following the tragic death of Paul Walker in November 2013, the project was cancelled, and TI explained:that in these conditions no one would want to make a prequel without Paul Walker, out of respect and love for him.”
