Remember that time in 2017 when Liam Neeson said that he was officially done with action movies? "Guys, I'm sixty-fucking-five. Audiences are eventually going to go: ‘Come on,’” the hard-boiled actor proclaimed at the time. Yeah, we get it, he had a particular set of skills. Well, those skills are being once again being put to the test for the actor's latest revenge-driven romp HONEST THIEF.
Here's the official synopsis:
They call him the In and Out Bandit because meticulous thief Tom Carter (Liam Neeson) has stolen $9 million from small-town banks while managing to keep his identity a secret. But after he falls in love with the bubbly Annie (Kate Walsh), Tom decides to make a fresh start by coming clean about his criminal past, only to be double-crossed by two ruthless FBI agents.
From the co-creator of Emmy-nominated series Ozark, thriller Honest Thief showcases Liam Neeson in a heartfelt tale of redemption, packed with fights, chases, and explosions centered on one man's mission to make things right for the sake of love.
