Preview: Armored (2009)

Review:

This tilted imagery used in cop procedurals and action films is getting tired. If you want to intimate action, there are many more interesting ways to accomplish that.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

While not the most exciting trailer, the premise is moderately interesting and the actors don't appear to be terribly awful. The only problem I can see is that it looks so entirely predictable and similar to every other action/heist movie ever made.

Oscar Prospects:

Genre pics like this don't do well with the Academy.
