An unabashed B movie: basic, brutal and sometimes clumsy, but far from dumb, and not bad at all.

Reviews for Armored
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.
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.
It isn’t bulletproof by a long shot, but director Nimrod Antal’s grungy gang-of-thieves pic is tough and, for this genre, surprisingly ethical.
Alas, Armored is one predictable and forgettable movie that should consider itself very lucky not to have gone straight to DVD.
An initially intriguing plot line makes a messy getaway in this throwback heist movie.
A so-so heist-gone-awry thriller, light on the thrills, Armored doesn't exactly take its audience captive.
