Armored Car (film)

Armored Car, also known as Armored, is a 2009 American action thriller film directed by Nimród Antal. The film stars Matt Dillon, Jean Reno, Laurence Fishburne, Amaury Nolasco, Milo Ventimiglia, and Columbus Short.

The plot revolves around a group of armored car guards who, struggling financially, plan to rob one of their own vehicles containing $42 million. Their seemingly foolproof plan goes awry, leading to violence, betrayal, and a desperate fight for survival as they face off against the police and each other.

The film explores themes of desperation, loyalty, and the consequences of greed. While the initial plan is motivated by financial hardship, the escalating violence and moral compromises highlight the corrupting influence of money and the fragility of trust within the group.

Armored Car was released theatrically in the United States on December 4, 2009. It received generally negative reviews from critics, who often criticized its predictable plot and reliance on action over character development. While some praised the cast's performances, many felt the film failed to deliver on its potential.
