Reviews:
Allan Hunter - Daily Express: „Not a classic like Reservoir Dogs but a perfectly watchable thriller thanks to a cast of old pros.”
Peter Sobczynski - eFilmCritic.com: „It knows exactly what it wants to do and does it with a minimum of muss and fuss and that is more than I can say for a lot of the other movies that I have seen lately.”
Ken McIntyre - Total Film: „Armored’s first half is an overwrought, eye-rolling bro-venture, but once the actual robbery takes place, the film ratchets up into a solid testosterone-soaked thriller.”
