Original buzz:
Armored: Not so exciting
Unfortunately for this heist thriller, it fails to live up to it's potential, and ultimately ends up falling apart. This movie will dazzle you with it's plot, however on every other front, expecially the acting, is what weighs this movie down. Even Laurence Fishburn couldn't save this movie. The script wasn't too bad, but could of certainly been better. Older people will more than likely enjoy this over the younger crowd, although most people will find this apparent "action" movie quite boring. Armored had it's moments, but really was not an enjoyable movie. Go see the movie for yourself, but in my opinion save your money for matinee times for when tickets are cheaper, because there is the possibility you might be irritated. Armored certainly did not live up to my expectations, so I would save your money for the new releases for this coming Friday.
