I had a friend recently tell me that Armored was directed by a moron. Upon further investigation I found that the director was actually Nimród Antal, the director of Kontroll and Vacancy among others. While this does not necessarily negate the moron thing, I feel that the previous two films were good enough to try Armored.

Armored is a heist movie about a group of armored car guards who decide to steal the money they’re supposed to be protecting. Columbus Short plays Ty, the member of the group who balks when people get shot, and decides to foil the whole shebang. I don’t know what else to tell you–there are some good actors: Matt Dillon, Laurence Fishburne, Fred Ward. Also, it’s an action movie, so the plot is a little secondary. There is a demolition derby-style car chase between two armored cars, several explosions, gunplay and Matt Dillon’s intense stare. I liked it. I would only recommend it for people who like fun movies, as it is not a “think piece.” – [DVD] [Blu-Ray]
