Film: Armored
Cast: Matt Dillon, Columbus Short, Laurence Fishburne, Jean Reno
Director: Nimrod Antal
Rating: * * ½
This action-adventure and suspense thriller has a crew of officers at an armored transport security firm who risk their lives when they embark on the ultimate heist - against their own company.
Armed with a seemingly fool-proof plan, the men plan on making off with a fortune with harm to none. But, when an unexpected witness interferes, the plan simply goes kaput!
This is yet another generic actioner lacking in sophisticated thrusts and entirely unprepossessing. The action is standard issue and the narrative follows the well-established trend developing tension and character as the drama unfolds.
Nimrod Antal uses a fair share of intelligence to fashion a narrative that keeps the interest going despite it’s many clumsy moments. This is a tightly hewn crime drama alright but it has very few thrills to give it that extra boost that it needs so badly!
