Tale
A father and son working as security guards for an armored truck company encounter a team of would-be robbers while on a bridge. They become trapped and must come up with a plan to escape and ensure their survival.. The only other time Sly’s played an antagonist was in Robert Rodriguez’s Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over in 2003.
The plot had holes in it large enough to drive an armored truck through
I thought Armor was well cast, but that is almost the only good thing I can say about it. 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.
It also arrives at the perfect time
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. 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.
