Armored (2009)

I'm a fan of action crime thrillers and I thought this movie was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Released in 2009 and Directed by Nimród Antal (Predators, Vacancy), ARMORED is about a young armed service veteran name Ty Hackett (Columbus Short), who works for an armored transport security firm, is coerced by his mentor Mike Cochrane (Matt Dillon) and their fellow coworkers: Baines (Laurence Fishburne), Quinn (Jean Reno), Palmer (Amaury Nolasco), and Dobbs (Skeet Ulrich) to steal a transfer of $42 million dollars from the Federal Reserve. But when an unexpected witness interferes, Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff Jake Eckehart (Milo Ventimiglia), their supposedly foolproof plan leads them all to a potentially deadly resolution. This movie kept me on the edge of my seat when it came time to see the whole purpose of the film. What a great cast of actors, who I thought were all great in their performances, starring Matt Dillon (Drugstore Cowboy), Jean Reno (The Professional), Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix trilogy), Amaury Nolasco (Max Payne), Fred Ward (Tremors), Milo Ventimiglia (Rocky Balboa), Skeet Ulrich (Scream), and Columbus Short (Stomp the Yard). Fishburne had some funny moments in the film, but I thought Short did a terrific job as the main character Ty. And I kid you not; it made me feel like I was in his shoes, watching him trying to make it out alive. Sadly in advanced, the film was never screened to critics. However, it got mixed reviews and got 43% rating from Rotten Tomatoes. I still think ARMORED is one of those movies I would definitely recommend for all movie lovers to see and enjoy.
