Armored - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars


Released in 2009 and running a short 88 minutes this is above average for a heist action flick.The cast is fine headed by Laurence Fishburne and the all to rarely seen in US films Jean Reno and veteran actor getting better with age,Matt Dillon with under utilized Milo Ventimiglia and unknown Columbus Short as the main character actors.The plot is standard as a heist goes wrong and the gang has a falling out.Thats why I took 1 and 1/2 stars off.But they try hard and a armored truck heist is better than a bank no?
Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.


The war veteran, Ty Hackett, is hired to work as security guard by the Eagle Shield Security where his old friend Mike Cochroone works. Ty is having financial difficulties after the death of his father, and is raising his brother Jimmy alone. He teams up with Mike's brother-in-law, Baines, and their coworkers Quinn, Palmer and Dobbs. One night, Mike invites Ty to join in the robbery of two armored trucks transporting forty-two million dollars. The reluctant Ty accepts after Mike promises that nobody would be hurt in the heist.
