Armored offers a gritty heist story with a moral core, bolstered by strong performances despite its narrative weaknesses. The film captures a bleak outlook on economic hardship and moral dilemmas faced by its characters. However, its straightforward approach and some plot inconsistencies have drawn criticism. Yet, its engagement and action sequences provide sufficient entertainment, making it a watchable if unremarkable heist thriller.
