Fun Facts about Armor:
Stallone was paid $3.5 million for one day's work.
Justin Routt didn't direct a thing," said Steve Noell, the prop master on "Armor." "He was just there. Randall Emmett was the one who called all the shots."
Justin Routt was listed as director on the call sheet when Stallone arrived for his single day of shooting. That morning, around 7:10, Randall Emmett approached several of the filmmakers as they were preparing for the day, including the director of photography, according to multiple crew members.
When Stallone got there, Randall asked the DP to come in and talk to Sly with him," said one person who was on set that day. "He said, 'Sly doesn't quite know that I'm directing this. I want you to back me up that this film shoot is going poorly and I need to take over the ship.'"
Initially, producers told Mississippi officials that "Armor" would be a 15-day film shoot, documents show. Then producers cut it to 10 days, knowledgeable people said. Shooting abruptly wrapped on the ninth day.

I think I'm being generous with this rating. Hounds Of War the latest film from prominent DTV director Issac Florentine and the second Grillo film of the year so far following Lights Out, is derivative, poorly paced and worst of all boring.
Robert Patrick can play roles like this in his sleep at this point. Same could be said for Rhona Mitra. Mitra and Grillo are supposed to play an ex couple here but without this movie telling you that you likely wouldn't know, since they have virtually no chemistry at all in their scenes together. Grillo even though he's the lead barely has any screen time or lines of dialogue for some odd reason. The action scenes feel drawn out and like pure visual noise to draw out the runtime and make up for the fact that this movie barely has a story.
Grillo has another movie, Long Gone Heroes also releasing this week. Hopefully it's better than this.

Yet another geezer teaser.
Gibson here looking like he walked on set after spending the morning drinking at the local dive bar. 50 Cent plays a police chief and mumbles through all his lines as fast as possible to collect a paycheck. Yet despite that they are the two best parts about this. Whenever they aren't on screen this drags and feels like an episode of CSI or some cop procedural that accidentally got made into a movie.
Guarantee this will be streaming for free on Tubi by the end of the year. You're better off watching this that way don't waste your money on this. Gibson and 50 Cent deserve better.
