In Security (2014)

Very well executed

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

In Security(or Armed Response) is a comedy, action movie about two guys, Bruce(Michael Gladis) and Kevin(Ethan Embry), who owns a security service in the safest town in America. When business are going down, Bruce decided to start robing the houses in town so the people won't feel safe and own security systems. Things were going great until the rob the wrong house.The movie wasn't so bad. It reminded of a TV series that i used to watch called "Hustle". I like the idea of the plot, the movie wasn't that good but still enjoyable. But what the movie really lack the most is comedy. I don't really see the jokes. I get that they're trying to make the movie funny, but i just don't see it. Another thing that they lack of is action. I though there would be a hand to hand combat, wrestling style between the bad guys and Bruce since he was mentioned to be a wrestling Champion, but he in the end, he didn't do much. The only real action we could see in the movie was at the final few minutes. If they could just extend that by another few minutes and add more jumping and fighting kind of action, it would be great. I get that the directors tried to make the movie more to the comedy aspect, but they didn't really do a good job doing that.My final verdict is, the movie's not that good but still enjoyable. I enjoyed it as a movie but not as a comedy. The movie would be better if they add more 'funny' jokes or moments and action aspects into it. The movie wasn't horrible but in the end it wasn't that good, but since i enjoyed it, i gave it a 6 out of 10.

"Armed Response" is a very, very funny and enjoyable movie! There isn't a dull moment - the editing is great - and it keeps your attention from beginning to end! Michael Gladis is absolutely hilarious! We do not want to give away any of the clever storyline or unexpected end of the movie but we highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys clever, creative, unique comedies! (Wish mainstream comedies were as funny as "Armed Response"!) All the actors were great! We would love to see a sequel reuniting Michael Gladis and Ethan Embry in the home security business! We rent a lot of independent films and mainstream films and can honestly say that we enjoy the independent films much, more more, especially comedies! "Armed Response" will not disappoint comedy fans!

Review: I wasn't that impressed with this film. The storyline is ridiculous and really hard to believe. The acting wasn't anything amazing and I was surprised to see Ving Rhames, Alan Arkin and Vinnie Jones making an appearance because the script couldn't have been that good. The director didn't show the true ending so he left it up to the audience to make up there own mind about what really happened, which was a bad choice. As I didn't hear that much about the film when it got released, I wasn't that disappointed, but I was expecting something slightly interesting and entertaining. Disappointing!Round-Up: I haven't heard of the main characters before so I can't comment on there previous work and after seeing this movie, I'm sure that I won't be seeing them again soon. Ving Rhames hasn't really starred in any big blockbusters since Pulp Fiction and he seems to be popping up in small independent movies every now and again. I've always rated Alan Arkin as an actor and he's really come to light in the latter part in his career with movies like Little Miss Sunshine and Argo. He only makes an appearance in one scene, which was a shame, but Cary Elwes, who plays the baddie, showed some professionalism in his role. Overall, the movie isn't that funny and it's very unrealistic. I recommend this movie to people who are into there crime capers about a couple of security shop owners who steal from people's homes to get business. 2/10

looked at the reviews here and know for sure how they can be bumped up falsely. However having Vinnie Jones in the movie made me think twice. Not an Oscar performer, but he normally plays in good films and hence took the chance and watched this. The funny thing is you don't see much of Vinnie Jones in it.A good plot, something different from cops and robbers and yet not so, ha! Not into American comedy much but this made me smile and laugh. The 2 main characters gelled well and were right for the script. The film starts of lightly and gets darker and gruesome towards the end. I am a hard man to please and don't give brownie points away that easily. But rest assured I speak my mind and can say any film i give a review is an honest one, yep, do allow for different tastes, but a bad film is a bad film. And a good one is good one.Glad to say I did not waste my time, this is a film worth watching.
