Critics Consensus

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

Isn't clever or inventive enough to seem like a high-stakes game.

2/5

A host of charismatic character actors, including Jean Reno, Laurence Fishburne and Matt Dillon, slum it about amiably in Armoured, a B-movie action thriller, before it all implodes in the final unbelievable act.

While there's nothing groundbreaking in Nimród Antal's (Predators) film, it's more of the same, but crafted with the necessary skill to pleasantly surprise genre fans looking for a well-told story with compelling character... [Full review in Spanish]

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.

It's so full of plot holes it could be mistaken as a colander.

What a bad movie. A good cast with okay acting but the storyline sucked and the direction was abysmal. A complete waste of time. Do not watch.

The editing and pacing are terrible here. Boring generic soundtrack that thinks it's modern and good and everything else is supbar. The idea could be a cool thriller where most of the film takes place in the truck with one guy fighting back against the odds kind of like Panic Room. That sounds really cool but it's done so poorly here. Once he's trapped in the truck it feels like pointless stuff just happens. The banging sound as they try to get the door pried open gets sooooo annoying after awhile. And it gets so repetitive with it. The other sin is the characters are just stock and generic. Nothing really seperates the 5 bad guys from each other. And the main guy is pretty much by the numbers John Q. type stuff minus the terminally ill kid. The way it sets up the characters too is so messy and sloppy too. Why don't they just go and grab the kid immediately because they know his boy is the most important thing? How do they not hear him getting out and back in the truck? Why don't they have someone keep an eye on him when the cop shows up before he puts bills on the windows? It's got a bunch of plot holes too. And despite being not even 90 minutes it feels like it drags and is longer. If you take away the failed attempts to get in, and only leave the cop getting shot in and the kid than that's pretty much it. Nothing would be lost. There just isn't enough of a fleshed out story or character dynamics or a well thought out heist/survival hybrid. Skip This.
