Armored: Not tough enough.
Movie Reviews December 28th. 2009, 7:34pmLaurence Fishburne, Matt Dillon, Jean Reno, some rapper and Fred Willard might make a decent cast, if there’s a decent script and a decent story. Heist gone bad has been done a few times hasn’t it? OK, we’ve all wondered about armored car drivers making minimum wage and guarding huge amounts of money haven’t we? Here is their story and it’s not a good one. We have basic good guys who decide to turn bad and they screw it up and end up killing each other in this bad movie. With these good actors you’d think something could be done, but the director and writers give us nothing but stereotypes and clichés. It wants to be Under Siege in an armored car, but is more of the Apple Dumping Gang with a bit of graphic violence. I stayed for the entire movie just to see how ridiculous it could get. This could have gone straight to DVD and any money it makes will be from people who have never heard of it and see the cast and think it has to be OK, but it’s not.
