Los Angeles Times
A solid heist flick elevated by its ensemble cast and the visual eye of Hungarian-born director Nimrod Antal ("Kontroll"). - 60
New York Daily News
Director Nimrod Antal’s grungy gang-of-thieves pic is tough and, for this genre, surprisingly ethical. - 60
The New York Times
An unabashed B movie: basic, brutal and sometimes clumsy, but far from dumb, and not bad at all. - 60
Time Out
Antal and his performers’ pure B-movie esprit is undeniable. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
Alas, Armored is one predictable and forgettable movie that should consider itself very lucky not to have gone straight to DVD. - 50
Variety
A so-so heist-gone-awry thriller, light on the thrills, Armored doesn't exactly take its audience captive. - 50
Chicago Reader
This unambitious caper flick takes a while to get moving but gradually develops a modest meat-and-potatoes appeal, compromised in the third act by a whopping and perfectly avoidable plot hole. - 50
L.A. Weekly
The camaraderie in the Eagle Shield Transport locker room is strained stuff, despite a capable ensemble cast that includes Matt Dillon and Larry Fishburne.
