Review of Honest Thief (2020) by Mindurbidniss — 25 Jun 2021
Neeson has become a conveyer belt that pushes out this "All American" garbage. He's literally the same character in all of these films This was fine 10 years ago in Taken but has run it's course in staleness by now.
Speaking of Taken, literally half of the dialogue here has been directly copied and pasted to this film including fan favorites like "I'm coming for you". The worst offender might just be Neeson's acting chops, or lack thereof.
He's never been a strong actor but with a good enough script, can be passed along in some good films. This isn't that film. A fast food blink and you'll miss it backstory don't offer much motivation and a plot with more holes than Swiss cheese doesn't help matters.
Theatres are simply way to expensive to waste moviegoers time with films this awful.
