Movie Review – Honest Thief

I can’t recommend seeing Honest Thief; not even on DVD/streaming someday; it offers nothing to the genre worth sitting through.

The story is painfully predictable. The characters are cardboard. The acting is uninspired. I can’t fault the actors. There’s not much they could do with this plot and dialog.

Spoilers ahead:

Here’s an example of how predictable, and unrealistic, the characters behave. In the climatic scene the bad guy finds out that Liam Neeson’s character planted a pressure sensitive home made bomb under his driver’s seat. If he gets out of the seat, the bomb will go off. Predictably, the bad guy sits nervously and waits for the bomb disposal unit to arrive and save him, and then gets arrested. All the while he has three million dollars in the back seat.

What’s totally unrealistic: all movie long Neeson’s character has been made out to be the good guy who does the right thing. A realistic ending would be for the bad guy to call his bluff on the explosive. There’s no way Liam would put the bomb disposal personnel at risk. It was obviously going to be a dud. But the bad guy never questions it.

If you’re desperate for your Liam Neeson fix, just pick from any number of his previous movies and skip this one.

Grade: D

About The Peetimes: I would recommend the 2nd Peetime. There’s no action or plot development and the synopsis is really short. This movie is pretty short, only an hour and a half, not counting the credits.

There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Honest Thief. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)

Love love love this app. And, after receiving an email from Dan (the creator) that read as though it was a one-on-one communication sent only to me, I felt compelled to leave a long-overdue review. My son and I are absolutely addicted to this app…especially since I discovered it at the onset of the Marvel craze. Now we use it to confirm if there is a scene following the credits. Often times, we are the ONLY ones there watching the bonus scene…and it cracks us up. LOL! Thanks, RunPee!

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂

Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
