Going into Honest Thief, it was my hope, in spite of a rather bland trailer, that I could be surprised. There are some truly ridiculous scripts that Liam Neeson brings an utter seriousness to as the lead. It’s why his cameo in Ted 2 was so funny. I don’t think that anything that happened in Non-Stop is remotely plausible, but I’ll be damned if I wasn’t hooked. Same with The Grey and The Commuter. Honest Thief never quite matches either side of the Neeson spectrum, falling somewhere in the middle, in a role that could have been done by anyone. Name an actor. Yes. That one. That one would be fine.
