What distinguishes this robbery-gone-wrong flick is the authentically blue-collar vibe, as well as its stellar ensemble cast and terrific direction from Vacancy's Nimrod Antal.

An unabashed B movie: basic, brutal and sometimes clumsy, but far from dumb, and not bad at all.
A.O. Scott, New York Times

Armored won't win any prizes, but it does offer comforting evidence that there's still room for a well-crafted B movie among CG-laden spectacles.
Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
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.
Cliff Doerksen, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Antal is never much beyond serviceable here, but he does make a chase-duel between two entirely identical armored cars almost decipherable, which is no mean feat.
Nick Pinkerton, L.A. Weekly
