Armored (2009)

They have a plan to catch EVERYBODY off guard.

Directed by Nimrod Antal

Written by: James V. Simpson

Starring: Matt Dillon, Lawrence Fishbourne, Columbus Short, Jean Reno, Skeet Ulrich, Milo Ventimiglia

A newbie armored truck guard is coerced by the veterans on the squad into robbing the truck he's driving.

Are you fucking kidding me? Nothing in the film makes any sense, from the motive (Hey, let's just rob the truck we're driving!), to the acting (You can practically hear Fishbourne thinking "I don't need this crap. CBS is signing all my paychecks from now on!"), to the writing (Does it really take 30 minutes for a man to knock the hinges off of a truck door? In real time?). Do yourself a favor. Skip it. This is 88 minutes I wish I had back.

Really, what happened to these actors? They all used to do such strong roles in great movies. Dillon had Crash, Fishbourne was awesome as Ike Turner in What's Love Got to Do With It? I guess they all had their rent come due at the same time.

4/10

I didn't even watch any of the special features, so I can't tell what was on it.

I hope Antal does a better job at directing Predators this fall.
