Kate Walsh is less annoying than she was in 1 3 Reasons and honestly feels like she is trying to prop up this movie, so that is a bonus. Performances wise, I can’t really knock anyone too hard on this because they are all doing what they do best – blend in while Neeson goes through the motions.
Honest thief cast movie#
I think this is the third or fourth time now(?) Unfortunately this film feels REALLY long and I was surprised to see it’s only 100-minutes because for a movie called Honest Thief the only thing I could see being stolen was my time! The story is actually pretty intriguing but gets bogged down with the old “Liam Neeson is framed for murder and has to clear his name” cliche. Honest Thief really is standard by-the-numbers fare only the action really isn’t that great, it’s okay and passable but we have seen better. So now the hunt is on as Neeson try’s to clear his name… Jai Courtney and his partner end up trying to steal the money and frame Neeson for the death of Robert Patrick. He is put through to senior detectives Robert Patrick and Jeffrey Donovan who pass the case to Jai Courtney and his pal (assumedly because we have to kill Patrick in a little bit anyway). Neeson has apparently given up the life in favor of Kate Walsh and has decided to turn himself into the FBI. The movie has barely started and we have not really seen anything of interest then… smash cut to a year later. We don’t get to see any of this though we just catch the tail end of one and then cut to him buying a storage unit from Hannah’s mum from 13 Reasons Why (Kate Walsh).
Honest thief cast series#
In a series of years he has amassed a stolen fortune of roughly 9 million. Liam Neeson plays a retired Marine who has taken to robbing banks. Let’s just get into this before my review becomes as boring as this flick. No spoilers just yet guys but I was wrong, he said he was done with action and well with Honest Thief he has stuck to his word because this is not your typical Taken knock-off! Oh don’t get me wrong, it’s trying desperately to be one of those movies, it wants the action it wants the gunplay and choreography but holy sh*t does it fail on every level. But wait, Neeson said he was done with this saturated genre he has got himself knee deep into, maybe I am prejudging to quickly maybe just maybe… I have this one wrong!
Honest thief cast full#
The poster is your typical Neeson Taken knock-off poster the trailer is your typical Neeson knock-off trailer and the cast didn’t exactly fill me full of hope – with the likes of Jai Courtney in the mix. I was pretty happy to see this because, while it was always good to see Neeson being cast in films, they were all just becoming really, really, similar and it sounded like he wanted to flex his acting chops properly again.Ĭut to now and we have Honest Thief. Stars: Liam Neeson, Kate Walsh, Jai Courtney, Jeffrey Donovan, Robert Patrick | Written by Steve Allrich, Mark Williams | Directed by Mark WilliamsĪ little while back I read an interview with Liam Neeson basically saying that after a solid few years of churning out action flick after flick, that were basic carbon copies of Taken, he was taking time away from the genre.
