After just watching Tulsa King, i thought yea why not i saw sly was in the credits and Tulsa King was right up my street, but this has got to be the worse movie ive ever saw Sylvester Stallone star in its got that Jason Patrick (From Lostboys 1987) in it as well the plot was bad i mean really bad,the acting was extremely poor with all partys involved especially from sly which hurt as im a fan of hes .the special effect's were like some thing out of Roblox what all the children love to play, been a memeber of imbd for about 15 plus year but i have never wrote a review before but this movie was that bad i just had to. Peace love and that good stuff !!!

I thought they're transferring millions of dollar, but they're like transferring pile of rotten squash. I work for bank before, I experienced both Branch and Armored Security. When I watched this movie, it's a mile far beyond security.... and putting Silvester Stallone in the front cover and he only showed like 2% in this Whole movie is like murdering people who downloaded this movie. Its just waste of time and internet. Just huge disappointing that Stallone even took this project. Poor acting, poor storyline, poor sense of humor...... who ever produced this, you just made a boring comedy movie.

James Broody (Jason Patric) and his son Casey (Josh Wiggins) drive an old armor truck in the deep south. James is a ex-cop who is still haunted by the lost of his wife. They are attacked by a robbery crew led by Rook (Sylvester Stallone) with hothead Smoke (Dash Mihok).

This is lowly rated. It's even lower than I expected and that's interesting. It's a big name in an obvious B-movie syndrome. Sly has a TV show and he could probably do better than this movie. With the decline of cinema, this is one of those mid-tier 90's thrillers that is going out of business or being downgraded to B-movies. This movie is obviously done on the cheap. There are good actors, but the seams are showing. The writing is thin. The plot is a bare minimum. The action has some good moments but plenty of nitpicks. I can write off the fake gunfight for safety reason. The fake underwater work is simply bad. They shouldn't show it if they can't film it. It should be a waiting sequence where the audience waits for the heads to pop up. The big name in small movie syndrome really hits this one hard. I've seen much worst B-movies.

I thought Armor was well cast, but that is almost the only good thing I can say about it. The plot had holes in it large enough to drive an armored truck through. Unstable plastic explosive wouldn't be my first choice of what to take on a heist. Bullets flying, grenades exploding, vehicles engaged in a game of low-speed bumper tag on conveniently deserted roads, yet no one notices any of it. Shoot-outs on a bridge over what is presented as a number of hours, yet not a single car passes by until it is conveniently needed. It also arrives at the perfect time. Houses are near to the so-called 'action', easily within earshot, yet no one phones in about the explosions or gunfire. Roads going through the Nevada desert see more traffic. Stallone spoke often but did little. I suppose that's to be expected at this stage of his career. Not bad, but not good either.

The whole film strained my sense of incredulity and really disappointed me. There was no sense of realism whatsoever. Watch it if you don't have anything else to fill your time; just don't expect much from the experience.

I decided to give this a go when I first checked the average rating and it was just over 5/10, as I'm a fan of Sly.

After coming back to review this mess after seeing it and notice the average rating is now down to 3.7/10, that's still too high. I just checked what the actual critics rated this mess on RT, and I can't say I've ever seen the Tomatometer from 16 critics show 0%! I should have checked RT first before wasting time seeing this joke of a movie.

For starters, a fifth grade drama class can write and direct a better and more believable story. The filmmakers also clearly didn't do their research (even a quick Google search would've helped!) on protocols and procedures and what to do/not do when armored drivers are in a situation, because everything they did in this movie was laughably wrong and unrealistic.

Next you have a large team of well equipped and (seemingly) prepared heist team that are clearly clueless when the time comes for the heist. A bunch of kids could've had that truck open faster.

The directing was worse than amateur hour, even when apparently (according to the movie's Wikipedia page) the listed director Justin Routt was just a pawn for the more experienced producer and actual director, Randall Emmett, which would explain why this mess was so bad, as his last bunch of films were rated similar to this. Not sure why Emmett pulled this stunt,, but clearly his cast and crew were not happy, and that dynamic was clearly visible in this production.

The writing simply had no main plot. It was three side stories, none of which had any relation to each other and the actual heist.

Even with the normally comfortable and short 99 min runtime, this felt much longer and boring when none of the boring and pointless side stories added anything to the movie's main story. It was just ongoing verbal diarrhea of useless family drama.

It's a generous 2/10, all going to Sly for doing his best with the nonsense he was given to work with.
