Armored (2009)
Columbus Short plays a rookie member of an armored transport security team who is approached by a co-worker (Matt Dillon) to help pull off a $42m heist on their own trucks.
Also starring Jean Reno, Laurence Fishburne, Skeet Ulrich and Fred Ward, this is a fun time waster where all the names you've heard of basically play the bad guys. Some of the cinematography has an edge of Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs about it but that's where any similarities end.
That's not to say Armored is a bad movie. It really isn't but despite a quality cast who don't disappoint it feels more direct to video than cinematic blockbuster material.
One of those easy to watch reliable films from the dvd collection that gets an airing every five or six years.
