Sylvester Stallone looking mean in Armor (2024) with a Rotten Tomatoes splat.
Warning: Major spoilers for Armor below!Sylvester Stallone's action thriller Armor sits at 0% on Rotten Tomatoes and again shows his failure to break one of his strangest rules. Another element that makes this Sylvester Stallone action movie unique is that it's one of the rare times he's played a villain, as the thriller makes it clear Sly's"Rook" is willing to kill the guards trapped inside the armored truck he's trying to break into.
The ending of Armor sees Stallone's villain just walk out of the story, having somehow convinced James and Casey not to tell the police he was involved. This is a truly peculiar story choice because, despite whatever reluctance he may have expressed, Rook was prepared to murder James and Casey for just doing their jobs. He then spends most of the movie trying to break into their truck to steal the gold within, and in any other action movie, he would have died for his actions.
F.I.S.T. Is The Movie That Created Stallone's No Death Rule One of Stallone's first Rocky follow-ups ends on a dark note ✕ Remove Ads After his breakout with 1976's Rocky, many of Stallone's subsequent projects struggled. This includes F.I.S.T., a crime drama that cast Sly as a Jimmy Hoffa-style character who is gunned down in the movie's closing moments. As he recounted in Sly, the star hated director Norman Jewison's choice to kill his F.I.S.T.
Despite its leading man's objections, F.I.S.T. earns its downbeat finale. Armor should have been a harsher, darker movie than it ended up being, and making Stallone's Rook an intimidating villain would have helped immensely. Instead, Armor can't bring itself to fully condemn its biggest antagonist, which undermines his menace throughout.
