Armored

THE MOVIE CHANNEL | BOX OFFICE | MORE TRAILERS

In this job, it's not uncommon to come across movies - and trailers - that both jump out at you as "popcorn" classic and a completely forgettable waste of time that won't make a dime.

Armored is one of those films. It's the type of flick, which upon release, will either exceed everyone's expectations by taking upwards of $80M - or it will open to about $14M and slowly shrink away before it makes it's $50M budget back.

The thing is, there is something about the crime caper that seems quite old hat. Oceans 11 did it - and pretty much did it as well as anyone else could ever hope to. So why bother recapture that with a genre that is clearly needing a good 5 - 10 year break?

Either way, it's an interesting cast (by interesting, I mean "full of good actors who are realistically hanging by a thread as they haven't had a hit in years) which includes Columbus Short, Matt Dillon, Laurence Fishburne, Jean Reno and Skeet Ulrich.

So needless to say, they got a great ensemble for a bargain price.

The flick follows a newbie guard who works for an armored truck company that is coerced by his veteran coworkers to steal a truck containing $42 million. But a wrinkle in their supposedly foolproof plan divides the group, leading to a potentially deadly resolution.

Could be good, but most likely, will be one you still think twice about renting on DVD.
