'Delivers exactly what you expect': Read The Hollywood Reporter's review of Liam Neeson's latest, HonestThief

Some movies feature a training montage in which the star is seen flexing his muscles or honing his firearm skills in preparation for a big battle. There's no such need for that in the latest Liam Neeson vehicle. Allneeds to do is show its star shopping for supplies in a hardware store to let the audience know that some serious mayhem is about to occur.

Rather than, say, simply returning the money to the authorities anonymously and living happily ever after, the virtuous Tom contacts the FBI and offers to turn himself in and give back the cash in return for a lighter sentence. Unfortunately, he doesn't anticipate that the agents assigned to his case, Nivens and Hall , will double-cross him by framing him for the murder of their superior and trying to kill him.

"Agent Nevins, I'm coming for you," Tom quietly intones at one point, and there's no doubt that's a promise that will be violently fulfilled. Besides bank robbing, Tom has a particular set of skills stemming from his service as a Marine, including demolitions expertise and being surprisingly effective in hand-to-hand combat with significantly younger men.
