Critics Consensus

This B-grade thriller has a good cast and director but is undone by plot holes and messy conclusion.

With better direction behind the camera, this could really have been something! It's got a great cast, and a story with enough about it to keep the thrills rolling from start to finish. There are plot holes that don't help, as well as a really poor ending, so it ends up selling itself short. Enjoyable action flick, for sure, but…

One of those films that has a promising start and story but loses it's way in the second half

To say this movie is formulaic is a gross understatement. There is absolutely nothing surprising that happens in this movie. No amount of big name actors makes this movie interesting. I have a feeling this was a movie that was simply made for the paycheck.

Good, well directed, good level production, good thing this was not like some of the other movies these days where only the bad guys win, so chalk one up for the good guys... This one is a win win...

Deep Focus Review

B-grade though it may be, Armored fulfills all the basic needs of your average thriller, doing so with a predictable setup and by relying on the bare essentials.

Rated: 2.5/4
