Armored

Isn't clever or inventive enough to seem like a high-stakes game.

It's free of gimmicky twists, to be sure, but it's also lacking tension, ingenuity and fun.

Director Nimod Antal's stripped-down genre exercise -- there's not even a hint of a romantic subplot -- is unremarkable but efficient.

You'd have to put me in a lock box to see it again.

Armored should crackle with nervous energy; however, the bland characters don't get much of interest to do and are virtually interchangeable.
