Tom Carter (Liam Neeson), a bank robber extraordinaire, is about to reveal to Annie (Kate Walsh), the woman he\u2019s in love with, that he\u2019s not the man she thought he was. He\u2019s got no choice but to come clean, because she arrives at his hotel at a rather inopportune moment \u2014 just as he and the corrupt FBI agent he\u2019s in the middle of pummeling spill onto the sidewalk from the floor above. She sees him sock the agent with that I\u2019m-going-to-put-my-fist-through-your-head ferocity that no one can summon quite like Liam Neeson. Then he shuttles her into his Jeep, and they escape with bad guys shooting at them, shattering the car\u2019s rear window. Tom\u2019s got a bloody bruise on his temple, and as he leads a high-speed chase through the streets of Boston, he pulls out a handgun, and Annie stares at it, agape with shock. After all of this, she says, \u201cYou have a <em>gun<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like a moment out of \u201cThe Naked Gun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t say (though I almost wish I could) that the rest of \u201cHonest Thief\u201d is that kind of howler. Directed by Mark Williams, the co-creator of the Emmy-darling Netflix drama \u201cOzark,\u201d it\u2019s a serviceably energized and routine action crime movie, with a few slammin\u2019 fistfights and gun battles, and it proves once again that Liam Neeson is an actor who will take a paycheck gig without treating it like one.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since \u201cTaken,\u201d 12 years ago, gave a steroid shot to his career (and damned if Neeson, at 68, doesn\u2019t still move with the casual alacrity of a man 30 years his junior), he has made the pulp thrillers he stars in into a genre all their own. What defines it is that Neeson delivers each low-down threat and underworld proposition as if it were Shakespeare. He\u2019s got his towering full-boil fury, but behind it there\u2019s that lingering controlled hint of Irish politeness. He\u2019s saying, with every line, \u201cI don\u2019t <em>want<\/em> to raise my voice. I don\u2019t <em>want<\/em> to smash your windpipe. You\u2019re making me do this. Please, for your own sake, I\u2019d advise you to stop.\u201d He\u2019s an action hero who molds the world in his hands.<\/p>\n<p>Annie thought Tom was an upstanding guy \u2014 not a crook, a bruiser, a gun carrier. But the hook of \u201cHonest Thief\u201d is that its title isn\u2019t at all ironic. Tom really is meant to be that noble. He\u2019s a thief who carried out a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of 12 heists, over a period of eight years, with each robbery perfectly planned and executed. His targets were small-town banks, with old vaults that go back to the \u201950s, and his strategy was to enter the bank through the air-conditioning vent on the Friday night of a three-day weekend, then drill into the vault and blast it open (the pyro-drill scenes are a lot like the ones in Michael Mann\u2019s \u201cThief\u201d); then he re-plasters and paints the shattered wall. He has kept his identity secret, but he\u2019s known as the In and Out Bandit, and he has amassed a fortune of $9 million, which he keeps, in cash, in a couple of anonymous storage units.<\/p>\n<p>But now that Tom is with Annie (he met her because she\u2019s the manager of the storage-unit facility), he wants to fess up. He can\u2019t hide what he does behind his back the way that Neeson\u2019s character in \u201cWidows\u201d hid his true nature from his wife, played by Viola Davis \u2014 and, in fact, the situation is parallel enough to make you wonder if this movie knocked off that one. \u201cHonest Thief\u201d is \u201cThief\u201d meets \u201cWidows\u201d meets a cut-rate Jason Bourne film meets a Liam Neeson he\u2019s-angry-and-will-find-you-and-kill-you thriller, all sprinkled with a touch of Neeson-as-stalwart-protector-knight romance. Kate Walsh, from \u201c13 Reasons Why\u201d and \u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy,\u201d plays Annie as horrified that her beau is a criminal, yet by the time he blows up the villain\u2019s stately suburban Colonial, she just looks at him and says \u201cWow\u201d with a grin of adoration. It\u2019s payback as aphrodisiac.<\/p>\n<p>Tom doesn\u2019t just want to tell Annie about his past. He wants to turn himself in and serve time \u2014 or, at least, to bargain for a reduced sentence by promising to give back all the money. It\u2019s not the kind of deal that the FBI <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly makes, but before veteran agents Baker (Robert Patrick) and Meyers (Jeffrey Donovan) can decide what to do, they hand the case off to a couple of underlings, led by Agent Nivens (Jai Courtney), who spies the opportunity for a grand payday. He and his partner will steal the money, treating Tom as a head case who got off on confessing to a famous crime. They, of course, are messing with the wrong head case.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of a super-criminal turning himself in is intriguing, but once the plan gets blown apart, \u201cHonest Thief\u201d becomes a glumly standard piece of B-movie Tinkertoy, with no surprises. The two rogue agents make one dumb move after another (I never bought the first murder committed by Courtney\u2019s Agent Nevins, who starts off as a grubby opportunist and turns, on a dime, into a baby-faced sociopath). And the turmoil experienced by Agent Hall (Anthony Ramos), who got his arm twisted into going along with the scam, is fraught but weightless. \u201cHonest Thief\u201d isn\u2019t incompetent (for a certain kind of pulp action fan, it delivers just enough of the goods), but it\u2019s a textbook case of an action movie that goes through the motions. And yet the corniest thing about it \u2014 Tom\u2019s drive to save his love for Annie \u2014 is also the most convincing. As an actor, Liam Neeson means everything he says. He\u2019s the action star as alchemist, converting trash into\u2026well, better trash.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/watch-movies-tv-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch Movies &#038; TV Series <\/a><\/span>category<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2020\/film\/reviews\/honest-thief-review-liam-neeson-1234801913\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Watch Online &#8216;Honest Thief&#8217; Review: Liam Neeson, Mad as Hell Again&#8221; &#8220;&#8216;Honest Thief&#8217; Review: Liam Neeson, Mad as Hell Again&#8221; Here\u2019s the kind of what-were-they-thinking? moment that can throw you right out of a movie.
