Along with Jacques Audiard’s The Prophet,, Armored is the second big thriller to be released this week, and we’re excited to see how the two measure up. The tale? A well-worn story of a luckless worker (Columbus Short) who becomes embroiled in a heist involving armoured cars – which inevitably gets botched. Also starring Matt Dillon, Lawrence Fishburne and Jean Reno, Armored looks simple, down-the-line and maybe a little dumb. It might be enjoyable enough, but we’d have been more excited if the distributers had at least bothered to spell ‘Armoured’ correctly on the UK posters.

Armoured: released Friday 22nd Janurary
