Armored

Thrilling, interesting, not terribly original, but very entertaining suspense/heist hybrid about a down on his luck Iraq veteran who joins forces with his late father's (and now his) coworkers to rob the armored truck they are supposed to be protecting. We've seen this heist film before done a few different ways, and though I knew pretty much every curve and bend, I still very much enjoyed the ride. Nice acting by all. Definitely some homage to Reservoir Dogs. My husband (an Iraq vet himself) pointed out that he liked that the Iraq vet was just a man put in an out of ordinary situation, rather than making all soldiers look like super heroes (a la The Marine). It gave the film some realism. A solid film.

**1/2 stars.
