Armoured (2009) 6/10

Starring : Columbus Short, Matt Dillon, Jean Reno, Lawrence Fishburne
Director : Nimrod Antal
Running Time : 88 mins

Ex-soldier Ty Hackett (Short) takes a job as a security guard thanks to old friend Mike Cochrane (Dillon) who works for the same firm. Not long into the gig, Mike asks Ty to help out his colleagues in a $42 million dollar heist that will mean the end of his financial difficulties, and he reluctantly agrees.

This was your stereotypical heist movie, and as a result it is very predictable. You know as soon as they mention robbing somewhere that someone, if not everyone, is going to die, and that there’s bound to be some betrayal involved. This movie doesn’t disappoint on that side if things, but sadly the formula feels a little dry in this uninspiring crime thriller.
