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...

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.

‘…a decent enough time-passer that satisfies in its own way…’
