    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.

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

    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.

    After seeing the movie I was very impressed. I thought the movie was intense and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The choice of actors was amazing. The main character was the type that you were drawn to and just wanted to see him win. After reading the other reviews I really don't understand what movie some of them were watching if they were giving it a 2 like honestly what movie were you watcing. I admit it's not the all time best movie i've ever seen, hence why I gave it an 8, but to give it a 2 is pretty harsh. Sorry but you guys need a lesson in good movies. Expecially when people give a movie like this a 2 and they'll give movies that stink in my opinion really good reviews. Guess it's just my opinion but to me you guys are wrong and this movie was awesome. Definatley worth a trip to the movies.… Expand

    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.… Expand

    Not the worst movie that I have seen this year (that award goes to Paranormal Activity; I am not a fan of the 'found footage' genre), but there was little to no suspense and the action was limited to two 'chases' involving the armored cars.… Expand
