Armored

I knew before I saw armored that it was likely I wouldn't enjoy it but unfortunately I was convinced to see it. Armored is a typical movie that makes no attempt of being a great movie, it just simply knows it will have some box office success and wants to make money. It is about a trucking service that transports precious, valuable items in high security armored trucks. Whenever there is an occupation of this sort, theft is always a desire. The basis of the movie makes sense although it is not great. The group of characters/actors involved in the robbery are not good and at times are annoying. It is the type of movie that you can sit and talk to the guy sitting next to you the entire time and you won't miss anything (I know form experience). The plot does not unfold well, although I wouldn't necessarily deem the film boring per se. The fact that director tries to create a moral dilemma and message in a dumb movie like this is laughable. It is definitely considered a walk-out movie for me and just google the ending. An awful movie that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Don't see it; 0 stars from me (if i was feeling generous maybe I would give it 1/2 a star).
