Armoured is an in between good and very good film and definitely needs improvement and a quite a few more other things. The cast was a quite a good cast but not an excellent cast. Matt Dillon is an excellent actor, but to play Mike Cochrane they should have used a more tougher actor such as Paul Walker or Scott Adkins. Mike Cochrane should have been a bit more of a tougher character and if they used strong men such as Paul Walker or Scott Adkins to be a bit more physical using his strength when not happy it would have been a lot better. Matt Dillons acting as Mike Cochrane was very good but they should have used somebody else. I know the film was about Officers making bad choices, but this film just wasn't tense enough. There were some small fight scenes and Laurence Fishburne was excellent in a fight scene, but they should have also used Michael Jai White to use his very powerful fighting skills and there should have been some more action such as shoot outs etc. This film was rated 12, but if there was better action, fight scenes and tension and was rated 15 or 18, the film would have been a lot better. The acting by Matt Dillon, Jean Reno, Laurence Fishburne, Amaury Nolasco, Fred Ward, Columbus Short, Skeet Ulrich and Milo Ventimiglia was very good. Amaury Nolasco (who acted in 2 Fast 2 Furious) was not that good in Armoured. His character Palmer wasn't tough enough and if they used the powerful Michael Jai White instead ,the film would have been a lot better. Michael Jai White as Palmer would have been better, Michael Jai Whites acting is absolutely brilliant and he would have portrayed his verbal frustration and thoughts about Hackett much more more better than Amaury Nolasco and the film would have been a lot more better.
This film Armoured is not a rubbish film, it is an in between good and very good film and I liked watching it, but it should have been a lot better.
