Dennis Harvey Variety Neither its staging nor its performances transcend the limitations of Adrian Speckert and Cory Todd Hughes’ script, leaving mediocre material unredeemed by any special thrills, style, or character detailing. Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com Even at its relatively trim 89-minute runtime, "Armor" feels padded. Rated: 1/4 Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Pablo O. Scholz Clarín [Armor] is a thriller with plenty of bullets, some punches, several injuries and a few inconsistencies or discrepancies in the script. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/4 Feb 1, 2025 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine Armor is a failed film that, despite the efforts of its well-known figures, fails to offer a worthy product. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/10 Jan 22, 2025 Full Review John Townsend Starburst Armor is messy; no one seems particularly interested in being there, and it’s all rather dull with little for the viewer to buy into. Rated: 2/5 Dec 26, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media While it has an intriguing small-scale concept, there's just too much that's illogical and inconsistent in this action thriller, and even at 89 minutes long, it feels stretched thin. Rated: 2/5 Dec 25, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Anth M Hadn't expected too much from this, but I still came away disappointed. Awful script, awful dialogue, special effects that aren't special in anyway, and some awful awful acting. Why Stallone and Patrick are putting their names to trash like this is beyond me. At 90 minutes running time it was still 80 minutes too long. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Adam G After 30 mins I decided I can't waste any more of my life on this drivvle. Still longer than it must have taken to write the script. Initially I thought it might have promise but once the action scenes start it becomes instantly ridiculous. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review H M This movie is awful. If I were watching it in the cinema I'd have walked out. The trailer looked promising but the poor script, bad CGI and dull performances makes for a truly bad movie. The characters aren't very believable and make dumb choices and the whole thing feels like it is playing for time. It feels like no one wants to be there and on top of everything else the CGI is appealing. All the bullet hits and muzzle flashes are poorly composited in stock assets, the guns have no recoil at all like they're just airsoft guns and the under water scenes look like they just tinted the footage and added a few stock bubble assets. When the van hits the river and they climb out of it as it is flooding didn't even look like they were in the water, just looked weird, a real immersion breaker. All the budget must have gone into paying Stallone to perform his one page of dialog. I hope it was enough to keep the lights on for a few weeks because things have to be bad to tarnish your name with a trainwreck like this. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Shay W I am not sure of the point of hiring Mr. Stallone and Mr. Patrick and surrounding them with actors who don't seem that good, the man playing the 2nd guard excepting. Also, we often here of actors who can be difficult and challenge scripts or scenes. You would have thought either of the leads might have done that as there are several glaring plot holes. All that said, I don't think you could say either of the leads "phoned it in" and while it's not a good movie, 0% on Rotten Tomatoes is too harsh. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Alan F I genuinely feel this may be one of the worst action movies I've ever seen, struggled to get to the end of it. The script writers and producers should be deeply ashamed of this garbage, it's an insult to filmmaking. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Duncan M I'm so sad to hear that this is an Amazon film. This has the worst writing of any film that I can remember. Especially the action, and it's supposed to be an action film. Every single detail of the car chase and then the shootout on the bridge is ridiculously flawed. It's as if a child put this together with no knowledge of cars, vans, trucks, physics, ammunition, grenades, marksmanship etc etc. The backstory behind the two security guards helps to engage you but the complete lack anywhere else just means this is a really poor watch. And it just gets more incredulous and terrible as the film goes on. Even the lines that Stallone gives. You have a shootout on a bridge for 20 minutes and then he stands behind the truck and says "Don't waste time." It's as if there's no police, on no public, certainly no sense. It's a shame that a big name like Stallone can't bring some sense to a completely immature script and force some improvement. Rotten waste of money, talent, opportunity Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
