Review: Armored

Armored follows Ty Hackett, an rookie armored truck guard for the Eagle Shield Armored Truck Co. We learn early on in the film that Ty has been taking care of his younger brother because their parents have recently died. We are soon introduced to Mike Cochrone, a co-worker who has an almost brotherly relationship with Ty. A little later on in the movie we learn that Ty is having trouble paying all of the bills and that the bank wants to take his parents house that he and his brother live in. As things go from bad to worse a seemingly perfect answer to all of Ty's problems arise. Mike tells Ty that he and a group of armored truck guards he knows are planning to steals a large shipment of money they are to be transporting soon. Reluctantly Ty agrees to be part of the plan, as the plan is carried out things go from good to catastrophic in a matter of minutes.

Armored is a very good heist movie. It has action, a good story and good acting. I always found myself anxious to find out what would happen next. The film was very realistic an never felt over the top. There wasn't a lot of special effects and to be honest this movie did not need them. This movie excels at showing how doing something wrong for good reasons can soon backfire. I also like the fact that it shows to us the power that greed has over some people.

I really can't think of anything negative to say about this film. I loved it.

If you have a chance to see Armored I definitely say that you should....
