Review of Armored (2009) by Dean M — 02 Jun 2010
Entertaining little thriller of a heist film about the six security guards in the armored trucks, who should protect the transported money, with a good amount of action and some unpredictable twists.
The key character is the ambiguous Ty (played by Columbus Short), a man that is facing financial difficulties in his private life that accept to participate in the heist but betrays his friends. Therefore, the hero of Armored is actually a traitor that is rewarded in the end. This unlikable character should have been better developed in the screenplay to give a better explanation for his despicable attitude (the betrayal).
It's nice to see an action flick without CGI. The acting was average with the exception of Matt Dillon who really stood out as the leader of the "bad guys". His character is a mean son of a bitch and Dillon played the role perfectly.
