It's a simple story of a guy who's down on his luck and raising his younger brother. He's a security guard for an armored truck company. His buddies want him to pull a heist with them and steal $42 million. Will he or won't he do it?
Everything is perfect with this movie. And the violence, while certainly there, is not gratuitous.
To date, this is Antal's third full-length movie. His first, Kontroll, was just superb. The second movie he made, Vacancy, is what my friend MK describes as "a torture porn horror movie". So, no thanks on that one. I'll be skipping that.
While Amored is nowhere near as good as Kontroll, it's quite good for what it is. There's definitely a feeling that the big studio jobs that Antal given are being massaged to what they think the movie should be, though. Too many fingers in the pie. A lot of the magic shown in Kontroll is just being replaced by bigger stars and bigger budgets. Hopefully, he'll regain that magic and display it again. Though, that may not be possible as his next gig is another addition to the Predator franchise...
