Fun Facts about Armor:

Stallone was paid $3.5 million for one day's work.

Justin Routt didn't direct a thing," said Steve Noell, the prop master on "Armor." "He was just there. Randall Emmett was the one who called all the shots."

Justin Routt was listed as director on the call sheet when Stallone arrived for his single day of shooting. That morning, around 7:10, Randall Emmett approached several of the filmmakers as they were preparing for the day, including the director of photography, according to multiple crew members.

When Stallone got there, Randall asked the DP to come in and talk to Sly with him," said one person who was on set that day. "He said, 'Sly doesn't quite know that I'm directing this. I want you to back me up that this film shoot is going poorly and I need to take over the ship.'"

Initially, producers told Mississippi officials that "Armor" would be a 15-day film shoot, documents show. Then producers cut it to 10 days, knowledgeable people said. Shooting abruptly wrapped on the ninth day.

James Broody (Jason Patric) and his son Casey (Josh Wiggins) drive an old armor truck in the deep south. James is a ex-cop who is still haunted by the lost of his wife. They are attacked by a robbery crew led by Rook (Sylvester Stallone) with hothead Smoke (Dash Mihok).

This is lowly rated. It's even lower than I expected and that's interesting. It's a big name in an obvious B-movie syndrome. Sly has a TV show and he could probably do better than this movie. With the decline of cinema, this is one of those mid-tier 90's thrillers that is going out of business or being downgraded to B-movies. This movie is obviously done on the cheap. There are good actors, but the seams are showing. The writing is thin. The plot is a bare minimum. The action has some good moments but plenty of nitpicks. I can write off the fake gunfight for safety reason. The fake underwater work is simply bad. They shouldn't show it if they can't film it. It should be a waiting sequence where the audience waits for the heads to pop up. The big name in small movie syndrome really hits this one hard. I've seen much worst B-movies.

Alright ... I know some peoples may say its a bit of in bad taste as Bruce Willis may had known he was sick and just decided to make as many movie (and dollars) as he could before it was too late, but he often had low effort performances in low budget DTV movies in the last 7-8 years of his career and that whats Stallone in this remind me.

Don't get me wrong. I love Tulsa King and i do think Stallone can still be pretty good on screen even tough he is approaching 80 years old. Of course at one point at that age the action roles may dry up, but he still has presence. He still look cool and badass.

But this movie... it just feel like they knew putting his name on it would sell it because otherwise NOBODY would had watch this.

The movie is not horrible ... Its not an action movie at all, more like a "thriller" (and i use it loosely) and there is some interesting parts between the father and son dynamic. But despite these characters being somewhat likable, you wonder how they could stretch this into a 90 minutes movie.

This could had been a 40 minute short (or an episode of a TV show) and it would had made sense. But the plot is way too thin to go 90 minutes and there is obvious flaws you gonna spot on the bad guys not being able to break in.

Very minimal use of CGI but you can spot it very easily when it happen, wich show the budget was VERY low.

If Stallone's name was not on it, this movie would had hardly be rent or bough by much peoples. Fan of him or not, you can skip it.

I thought Armor was well cast, but that is almost the only good thing I can say about it. The plot had holes in it large enough to drive an armored truck through. 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. 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. It also arrives at the perfect time. 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.
