Critics Consensus

This B-grade thriller has a good cast and director but is undone by plot holes and messy conclusion.

Keith Uhlich Time Out The pure B-movie esprit is undeniable. Rated: 3/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Isn't clever or inventive enough to seem like a high-stakes game. Rated: C+ Mar 29, 2010 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review B-grade though it may be, Armored fulfills all the basic needs of your average thriller, doing so with a predictable setup and by relying on the bare essentials. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 28, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews No-nonsense B crime thriller.

Audience Member Avoid at all cost . Shocking film Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member despite the great cast , this was action pap with some wanna be reservoir dogs moments Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member With better direction behind the camera, this could really have been something! It's got a great cast, and a story with enough about it to keep the thrills rolling from start to finish. There are plot holes that don't help, as well as a really poor ending, so it ends up selling itself short. Enjoyable action flick, for sure, but… Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member One of those films that has a promising start and story but loses it's way in the second half Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member To say this movie is formulaic is a gross understatement. There is absolutely nothing surprising that happens in this movie. No amount of big name actors makes this movie interesting. I have a feeling this was a movie that was simply made for the paycheck. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Good, well directed, good level production, good thing this was not like some of the other movies these days where only the bad guys win, so chalk one up for the good guys... This one is a win win... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
