In the movie Wrath of Man (2021), there is a scene where an armoured truck is robbed by heavily armed individuals dressed as construction workers:
Man 1: They don't pay you enough to act a fool; let's go!
Is there any joke (or) sarcasm in it?

It means that the robber is trying to convince the armored truck driver not to resist the robbery. He is telling the driver that he doesn't get paid enough to risk his life. It's not sarcasm, it's just a way of threatening his life if he continues to resist.
