Leave your thoughts about Armored.
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreOver-familiar and industrial, a factory film made because a recycled script, minimal budget, a location, a grab-bag cast and some armored trucks were available. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfA reasonably clean machine of escapist entertainment, directed resourcefully by Antal, who mines a generous amount of suspense out of a skeletal scenario. |
| CNNRadioPaul ChambersAn action flick that gets bogged down with unlikely plot twists. Paul Chambers, CNN. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyInspired by Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and countless films about seemingly perfect heists that go uproariously wrong, Armored is an unpretentious, fast-moving, action-packed thriller but emotionally hollow. |
| Los Angeles TimesGlenn WhippA solid heist flick elevated by its ensemble cast and the visual eye of Hungarian-born director Nimrod Antal ("Kontroll"). |
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferArmored should crackle with nervous energy; however, the bland characters don't get much of interest to do and are virtually interchangeable. |
| Total FilmKen McIntyreArmored's first half is an overwrought, eye-rolling bro-venture, but once the actual robbery takes place, the film ratchets up into a solid testosterone-soaked thriller. |
| Financial TimesLeo RobsonThings are jollied along by some very stiff acting, especially from Dillon. The film, shot in crisp widescreen, is surprisingly pleasant to look at. It is also surprisingly restrained. |
| MSN MoviesJames RocchiLike the guards in the film, Armored knows it has a job to do, and established procedures to follow, and that it's just another day at the office. But if a job is worth doing, it's worth doing well ... |
| Independent (UK)Anthony QuinnThe internecine calamity that ensues is nicely paced by Nimród Antal - great name- and played with full-grimace intensity by Laurence Fishburne, Jean Reno, Skeet Ulrich and, the single phoner in the performances, Fred Ward. A safe bet for a DVD night. |
