	Bad Boys: Miami Takedown - Xbox (XB) Reviews - The Armchair Empire
		Bad Boys: Miami Takedown makes all of the wrong moves from the very beginning and does little to recover from its own takedown.
		Not that this a highly critical mistake, it’s just that sometimes, when a game is released alongside a film, the game might seem that much better because of its tie-in to the movie.
		Bad Boys: Miami Takedown is a tragedy no matter how you look at it.

		Hackers II: Takedown is at least based on a true story and far more accurately depicted.
		It was interesting, but not very "hacker" centered, I mean, all he did was guess a password, the rest was the result of that....
		I guess Hollywood wouldn't be able to sell a movie showing a real hack, where the main character sits at his computer for hours and does whatever he does.

	TweakTown Global Forums - Hackers 2 - Operation Takedown
		With such stunningly insipid source material, it's no wonder that the film version of TAKEDOWN is not a whirlwind of adventure.
		It is only in the tepid denouement that the film comes close to broaching an intelligent discourse with all the subtlety of a jackhammer.
		In his book and in the film, Shimomura comes off as such a stupefying prick that I can imagine hackers around the globe relishing the thought of fucking him over.

		In 1989 he made LA Takedown, a TV movie that was the precursor of 1995's Heat, a bigger-budget, big-name version of the same story.
		Despite the fact that the series mustered some serious drama, 'Miami Vice' is best remembered for its style trappings - the pastel colours, the sports cars, the music (notably Jan Hammer's theme tune), the stubble and, most of all, the clothes, in particular, those loose-fitting sports jackets worn over T-shirts by star Don Johnson.

	3rd time a charm for racers
		Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition is the most entertaining driving game since last year's Burnout 3: Takedown.
		While movies almost always go steeply downhill after the second film (See: "The Godfather, Part III," "Alien 3" and "Problem Child 3: Junior in Love"), the third video game in a franchise is frequently the point where the series is perfected.
		The races generally involve going from one point to another, but there are always several roads less traveled, and the game encourages a little exploration -- even in the middle of a close race.

		Burnout 3 incorporates a new goal in which you're able to "take down" your opponents (hence the subtitle).

	Rap Influences Toronto Gangs
		But the Malvern Crew's businesses were shut down yesterday when 65 alleged gang members and associates were yanked from their beds across the Toronto region in a series of early morning arrests that were part of the largest anti-gang takedown in the city's history.
		Malvern Crew leaders are fascinated with Mafia films, cramming their shelves with videos like The Godfather, Scarface and Goodfellas, police sources say.
		The movies have so influenced the Malvern Crew and other Scarborough gangs that one of the most popular street names for local gangsters is Scarface, inspired by the 1983 film starring Al Pacino as a brutal character who builds an empire in Miami's violent drug trade, the officer said.

	DVD.net : Takedown (Rental) - DVD Review
		Chris Holmes’ score is what you’d expect for such a film — all synthy, technoish and decidedly non-organic - and all is synched to perfection throughout.
		It’s nice that Takedown hits our home screens in its “original theatrical ratio”, for it’s doubtful it saw much of the world of garish carpet and popcorn stench in its day.
		In all it’s quite a scattershot affair, often utilising whiz-bang effects trickery in attempts to hide the frequent mishmashery — after all, there is that classic warning sign of four writers all having a go at the script (based on a novel by the real life Shimomura).
