Armored (2009)

This is a solid movie. Ty Hackett (Columbus Short) was recently hired as a security guard for an armored truck company that delivers large sums of money between banks. His teenage brother Jimmy is now living with him after the death of their parents. A social worker threatens to put Jimmy into a foster home unless he stays in school. Ty is worried about losing his house and his brother, and is pressured by his co-workers into faking a robbery. At first he supports the crime, but when it starts to get out of hand, he attempts to thwart the heist.

On January 2, 2010 Sony mistakenly released the movie onto their Playstation video sharing service. This is the first screenplay written by James Simpson. Hungarian-American director Nimród Antal also made the 2007 film Vacancy.
