Hoping to cut a deal, a professional bank robber agrees to return all the money he stole in exchange for a reduced sentence. But when two FBI agents set him up for murder, he must now go on the run to clear his name and bring them to justice.

Critics Consensus

Guilty of first-degree squandering, Honest Thief returns Liam Neeson to late-period action thriller mode but neglects to supply much of a story.

Taken has run its course...the next time you get this script, Liam, just say no...

With Neeson well within the confines of his comfort zone, tailed by corrupt cops and diving out of hotel windows, the film should be better. Yet it drags...

3/5

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.

Honest Thief is very thin gruel compared with what is normally on offer at the local multiplex.

Mark Williams slightly tweaks a role to tell the same old story that's so well-suited for the actor of Taken. [Full review in Spanish]

The whole cast did a great job! It was an all-around great action thriller. Liam is one of my all-time favorite actors—and he did not disappoint!
