Like a watch that's expensive enough to steal, a proper heist movie is intricate and precise, with interconnected components working in harmony together to create a compelling story that always stays ahead of an audience's expectations.  The structure of many films in this subgenre provide a template for an ensemble in which every character contributes something specific to the larger narrative goal while also populating the cast with unique personalities, all sharing the same basic motivation but clashing nonetheless.

As the title so succinctly conveys, Tower Heist is most definitely a heist movie.  In the film, which hits theaters tomorrow, a group of hardworking hotel employees who discover that they've been the victims of a craven Ponzi scheme executed by a ridiculously wealthy, slick bastard, played by Alan Alda.  With the schemer under house arrest in his lavish penthouse residence, a cast of characters played by Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck, Gabourey Sidibe, and Michael Pena conspire to exact revenge by robbing him blind.  In honor of Tower Heist and its tremendous ensemble cast, our latest Rogue 10 is a collection of characters who basically steal their respective heist movies, those irreplaceable and awesome characters who could support their own solo adventures with ease.

The Labor Day weekend brought a face-off between George Clooney's The American and Danny Trejo's The Mexican - I mean, Machete. Looking to play spoiler, the lightweight comedy Going the Distance would try to sneak in and take some dough away from the two feuding badboys. So how did things turn out?

Another week, another batch of new releases to help close out the summer. With the hot moviegoing season almost at an end, five new flicks came into the marketplace to help pry some money away from last week's muscular winner, The Expendables. So who wound up being the victor?

Idris Elba (Takers, "The Wire") will be the new Alex Cross, inheriting the James Patterson-created character from Morgan Freeman, who played the detective in the films Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. The new project will be based on Patterson's twelfth novel featuring Cross, fittingly titled Cross.

Synopsis: TAKERS takes you into the world of 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 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.TAKERS takes you into the world of 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.
