As “solidly senior Liam Neeson kicks ass” vehicles go, Honest Thief falls firmly in the middle, nowhere near the heights of “Taken” but well above the depths of “Taken 3.” Read full review

Much like its central character, the film at least proves honest in its intentions. Read full review

The second half falls into familiar action tropes, but Honest Thief has some twists and turns, sly humour and a refreshing feel for its characters that raises them beyond genre types. Read full review

It’s a movie about a movie star taking out the trash, leaving behind a lower body count than usual, but executing his duties faithfully, and with a predictable dash — the right kind of predictable — of world-weary charisma. Read full review

By the standards of Liam Neeson thrillers (and there are a lot from which to choose), Honest Thief is pretty weak tea, a passable, low-octane action movie that doesn't do much more than steal one's time. Like second-tier John Wayne westerns, Neeson offers enough of what his fans want, but a thin script and stilted dialogue make the battle harder than usual. Read full review

It’s an inoffensive movie, full of such familiar tropes, it hardly matters if you can keep your eyes open to the end. Read full review

Honest Thief, co-written and directed by Mark Williams, is a predictable and slack affair, relying on eerie music, dark sets and smoke to create tension. There is no particular set of skills here. Read full review

Don’t pay the critics any mind. Just walked out of theater ten minutes ago. This was a very good film. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Had a little bit of everything. Good guys, bad guys, action scenes, pretty girl...

Liam Neeson continues his spate of action heroes, but this one is much more subdued.

His deal with the FBI turns sours pretty quickly, as he faces the inevitable scramble to clear his name. Even though it tries to display some warm emotions, the plot points are pretty standard and the dialogue is pedestrian and repetitive. Even so, it unfolds with a modicum of mild action and is never boring.… Expand

Perfectly harmless, which is part of the problem. You’ve seen something like this done before, and done better. If you want a great Neeson cat-and-mouse thriller, check out RUN ALL NIGHT
