Armored


An incredibly fun, if flawed, heist movie featuring a good cast and plenty of thrills. The plot is basic and the characters are stock, but the actors do a good job with what they are given. The movie has good pacing and kept me engaged for the entire running length. There's also some pretty tense moments that are well directed by Nimrod Antal. It's a pretty short movie at 88 minutes (less if you don't count credits) which means it goes by very quickly. It's a little contrived at points and you might scoff at some of the plot elements, but if you have enough suspension of disbelief this is a wild ride that entertains accordingly. It's 88 minutes of unabashed entertainment. It may not be something you'll think about come tomorrow, but you'll have a good time anyway.
