If you were hoping for an intense action flick or even a gripping story, *Armor* is about as thrilling as watching paint dry. The plot is a convoluted mess that stumbles from one cliché to another, leaving the audience wondering how anyone could have thought this was worth making. The characters are paper-thin, with zero development. You’ll spend the entire movie waiting for them to do something remotely interesting, only to be let down every time. The action sequences? Yawn. It’s as if the filmmakers thought throwing in some explosions and generic fight scenes would somehow make up for the lack of actual tension or creativity. The dialogue is beyond cringeworthy, with lines so forced you’ll be squirming in your seat. The acting is equally atrocious, with performances so wooden you’ll wonder if the cast was reading their lines off cue cards. Visually, the film doesn’t even try to stand out. The CGI is cheap, and the direction feels lazy, like it was filmed on a shoestring budget by people who had no idea what they were doing. At the end of the day, *Armor* is a textbook example of wasted potential. It tries to be something it’s not and fails miserably at being even remotely entertaining. Save your time and watch something, literally anything, else.
