'Honest Thief' has an engaging enough premise aided with a decent cast that is worth checking out, especially if you're dying just to see something new in cinemas - just don't expect to be blown away or fully invested in this one. - Chris dos Santos Read Chris' full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-honest-thief-an-honestly-average-time

Third rate thriller, with a messy plot (along with bad dialogue), is made a little worthwhile thanks to Liam Neeson. Nothing terribly memorable including the action scenes which was pretty average, however it's a satisfying enough if only as a one-time viewing. Will say, at least it is better than Taken 3... 3.0/5

a mostly unoriginal compilation of every previous Liam Neeson film...
