Sylvester Stallone’s new action movie lands 0% Rotten Tomatoes rating

by

As a die-hard action movie fan who’s seen more than my fair share of Sylvester Stallone films, I must admit that his latest offering, “Armor,” left me feeling a bit… armored down. After hearing such rave reviews for his previous movies like “Rocky” and “Rambo,” I was eagerly anticipating this new action-packed adventure. But alas, it seems the critics have given it a 0% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

In simpler terms, the recently released action film by Sylvester Stallone titled “Armor” hasn’t received any positive reviews from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, as it has been generally criticized.

In the latest film by director Justin Routt, starring Jason Patric and Josh Wiggins, we follow a duo of armored truck drivers – a father and his son – as they’re entrusted with moving a questionable cargo item.

Yet, as they travel along the road, the vehicle unexpectedly falls prey to a group of robbers, trapping the duo who valiantly resist their aggressive assault.

Based on initial critic responses, the movie titled Armor might be worth skipping, as it has an exceptionally low score of 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have pointed out that the film lacks originality, frequently describing it as “uninspired” and “powerless”.

Here’s what they’ve been saying:

Variety

In a rare departure from his usual roles, Sylvester Stallone appears to have little interest in playing the villain, as demonstrated in the film “Armor“. This indifference is likely to be shared by many viewers of this lackluster action movie.

“Even at its relatively trim 89-minute runtime, Armor feels padded.”

Loud and Clear

As a gamer, I’d say: “This game feels like a monotonous, uninspired adventure with no real excitement or originality. Sylvester Stallone is stuck in a boring sidekick role that doesn’t give him much to work with.

Fandomwire

If movie tropes are overused, it diminishes the impact of action scenes. In several instances of the film “Armor“, it’s not just foreseeable, but it seems as if we’re watching a repetition of action movie clichés.

The production of armor is designed as an economical project, with intermittent bursts of action serving to maintain audience engagement amidst a familiar narrative exploring themes of parental remorse and criminal duress.

Armor is out now in US cinemas. A UK release date is yet to be confirmed.
