The owners of a failing security company start robbing houses to boost business.

In Security

Entertaining, but not necessarily funny

&apos;In Security&apos; (aka &apos;Armed Response&apos;) is about two guys who own a home security firm which is slowly failing. Therefore, they hit upon the idea of robbing houses in the area in order to boost their business. It&apos;s a simple enough premise and in works... to some extent.

Okay, so it&apos;s never going to be a classic, but it has its strong points, namely the two main guys play off each other well and are a believable pair of &apos;normal&apos; blokes. The story is also solid and has a lot of potential and you may be forgiven for thinking that this is going to be a comedy. It has all the makings of one, but, somewhere along the line, it was like the writers never bothered to include any actual jokes.

I watched the whole film without laughing once. The first half may raise the odd half-smile, but that&apos;s about as close as you&apos;re going to get to any hilarity (in fact... during the first half there was a bit that actually made me jump – something that doesn&apos;t even happen when I watch horror movies!). But, like I said, the story rolls along and, despite the lack of humour, it&apos;s still entertaining.

Then, in the second half, things lose all hints of comedy and actually get quite dark (think murder and torture). We&apos;re introduced to quite a nasty villain, but, if you saw either Ving Rhames or Vinnie Jones&apos; names in the cast list – don&apos;t go expecting them to burst onto the set and save the day. Their addition amounts to little more than extended cameos.

By the time I got to the end of the film I&apos;d forgotten that the whole thing was actually told by one of the guys in a bar. This all seemed a bit pointless by this time as it&apos;s never mentioned during the film&apos;s runtime. However, I didn&apos;t feel like I&apos;d wasted my time watching the film. It&apos;s an enjoyable enough little film, just don&apos;t go expecting too many laughs and be prepared for when it goes dark about half way through.
