A solid heist flick elevated by its ensemble cast and the visual eye of Hungarian-born director Nimrod Antal ("Kontroll").

Antal and his performers’ pure B-movie esprit is undeniable.

The "acting" is cringe worthy. The usually wise charactered Fisbourne plays a total fool and dillon is super annoying. The plot is ridicolous and seems half way through they ran out of creativity and didn't know how to end it. Why didn't they just give Still it's easy to watch and isn't too boring so acheives something to pass the time.

Director Nimrod Antal’s grungy gang-of-thieves pic is tough and, for this genre, surprisingly ethical.

It's hardly a classic of the genre, but then again, like Armour hot dogs: it's Comfort Food for Men.

The camaraderie in the Eagle Shield Transport locker room is strained stuff, despite a capable ensemble cast that includes Matt Dillon and Larry Fishburne.

A so-so heist-gone-awry thriller, light on the thrills, Armored doesn't exactly take its audience captive.

A rule of thumb for characters in heist movies: If the idiots hatching the scheme swear it's "foolproof," it isn't. If they say they've got a rock-solid alibi, they don't. If they're convinced nothing could possibly go wrong, something will.

Having not heard anything about this movie I went in with an open mind and found myself enjoying Armored. It isn't an award winner and it isn't the most interesting and plot twisting story but it is short and makes the hour and a half you spend watching it worth it.
