After nine absolutely entertaining episodes of Sprung, which debuted on Amazon Freevee on August 19, 2022, with two episodes released weekly afterward, fans anticipated the comedy’s return for another run. Even series creator Greg Garcia, who wrote and directed the show, remained hopeful in the summer of 2023 as he was still “waiting to see if Amazon wants to do more.” Unfortunately, it has now been confirmed via TVLine that Sprung will not be back for Season 2.

Led by Garret Dillahunt and set in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, Sprung followed Jack, who, after spending nearly three decades in prison, is released and has to figure out where he will now live. He’s hell-bent on not getting back into a life of crime, but that poses a problem when his former cellmate, Rooster, offers him a room at his mother, Barb's, house, on the condition that Jack joins their criminal enterprise.

Kate Walsh will star in Freevee’s upcoming comedy series Sprung, created by Greg Garcia, the streaming service announced Monday, May 2. Camden Garcia and Andre Jamal Kinney have also been cast in the series. Sprung focuses on an unlikely group of formerly incarcerated people, who band together to use their criminal expertise for good. The series stars Garret Dillahunt (Fear the Walking Dead), Martha Plimpton (The Real O’Neals), Shakira Barrera, Phillip Garcia, Clare Gilles, and James Earl. Their characters specifically target those who took advantage of people during the Covid-19 pandemic. Walsh will play Congresswoman Paula Tackleberry, one of the group’s aforementioned targets. Tackleberry is in the middle of a PR crisis after she used inside information to sell millions of dollars in stocks, all while telling the public that the pandemic was not a cause for concern. The Sprung crew targets her as a deserving victim prime for...

He moves in with former cellmate Rooster (Phillip Garcia), Rooster’s mother Barb (Plimpton) and Jack’s former prison girlfriend Gloria (Barrera). The group decides to use their skills to right the wrongs of society, targeting those who take advantage of others during the pandemic.

I saw the trailer for Armored quite a while ago and it looked like my kind of film. Action from start to finish and a really good cast, but did it live up to my high expectations? Read on to find out…..

Armored (minus the ‘U’ cos it is American after all) is directed by Nimród Antal and has an all-star cast which includes Matt Dillon, Jean Reno, Laurence Fishburne, Milo Ventimiglia, Columbus Short, Skeet Ulrich and Fred Ward. It starts off very much setting the scene from the word go and focuses around Ty (Columbus Short), an Iraq war hero who has a brother named Jimmy (Andre Kinney) who have both recently lost their parents. Ty is a good guy and takes his brother on as his legal guardian. Ty works for an armoured car company called Eagle Shield where his father used to work and since his death...

Armored stars Matt Dillon, Jean Reno and Laurence Fishburne. Earlier this week, Sony accidentally released a digital version of the in-theaters film Armored, making the Nimrod Antal-directed film available as a free digital download for about five hours at the PlayStation Store, according to Afterdawn. Once Sony caught wind, they removed the Armored download, but the film resurfaced later on some viral sites. Since this is a pretty ridiculous oversight on behald of Sony, is it safe to assume this to be a marketing stunt to try to contend with box office favorite Avatar? Hmmm. Matt Dillon, Jean Reno, Laurence Fishburne, Skeet Ulrich, Amaury Nolasco, Andre Jamal Kinney, Milo Ventimiglia, Fred Ward and Columbus Short star in the film, about a crew of officers at an armored transport security firm who risk their lives when they embark on the ultimate heist... against their own company. Armed with a seemingly fool-proof plan,...

Short Version: The good news is: If you like to walk in, sit down and enjoy an action film, then Armored is for you. The bad news is: If you’ve seen the trailer, then you can walk in 45 minutes late and not miss a thing.

Screen Rant’s Paul Young reviews Armored

Every once in a while a movie comes out of nowhere that totally catches me by surprise. Black Dog, Hard Rain and Deep Rising are still three of my favorite mid-budget action flicks that got very little advertising or respect but managed to be very enjoyable in the theaters. All three also made into my DVD library – and now Armored will join them on my shelf.

There are some minor spoilers in the following review.

Nimrod Antal, the guy directing Predators, has done a very good job of making Armored fun and interesting without blowing it way over-the-top.

'Armored' Movie delivered a lot of action & edge of your seat drama. Screen Gems released it's new action/thriller flick, "Armored," this weekend. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. It had some great intense action scenes. It stars: Matt Dillon, Jean Reno, Laurence Fishburne, Skeet Ulrich, Amaury Nolasco, Andre Jamal Kinney, Milo Ventimiglia, Fred Ward, and Columbus Short "Armored" mainly focused around Columbus Short's character, Ty Hackett. He served in the army,and his parents had just recently died,leaving him with a burdening double mortgage and a younger teenage brother to take care of. He's now working as a guard for a an armored truck security company,transporting currency. The turning point of the film,of course, occurs when his pal Mike Cochrone (Matt Dillon) offers him the opportunity to heist about $42 million dollars on one of their truck runs.

Armored is hardly a film about a heist, because the very connotation of the word suggests careful planning and execution. When all the angles are covered, the con artists pull the perfect job. Of course, in most of these movies, typically the operation is interrupted by unforeseen wrinkles, which set up twists that keep the plot from grinding to a halt.

The Nimród Antal-directed movie borrows from the conventions of the genre, right up to the point where it might have become interesting. A diverse group of security guards conspire to rob their own armored trucks loaded with millions. That’s about as far as the formula takes the team (and the screenwriter).

The ill-conceived plot establishes a desperate newbie named Ty (Columbus Short) struggling to pay the bills and support his sibling, Jimmy (Andre Jamal Kinney), a street-tough truant with a talent for spray-paint art. As if a...

Armored is easily one of the dullest action films I’ve ever seen in my entire life. The story is bland, the characters are uninteresting and worst of all, it’s just plain lazy. Armored is about a young war veteran Ty (Columbus Short), and his younger brother Jimmy (Andre Kinney), who’s parents have passed away in the last year. Ty has taken it upon himself to get a job and take care of his younger broth. Ty’s job is that of an armored truck guard. He helps move large amounts of money from one place to another. He got the job because his father worked at the company, Eagle Shield Security, as does his godfather Mike (Matt Dillon). The biggest problem in Ty’s life is that he’s just not making enough money and the bank is threatening to take his house.

When Armored starts, Ty is just a rookie,...
