Liam Neeson's action thriller with 'twists and turns' just dropped on Netflix

Set in Boston, the thriller charts what happens when Tom tries to hand himself into the FBI in order to lead an honest life with Annie.

However, when two corrupt FBI agents, John Nivens (Jai Courtney) and Ramon Hall (Anthony Ramos), are sent to verify his claims, they discover the huge sum of money in his possession and decide to keep it for themselves.  

To cover their tracks, John frames Tom for the murder of their superior, Agent Baker (Robert Patrick), who unexpectedly shows up during their illicit scheme.

A fugitive on the run, Tom tries to clear his name and expose the corrupt agents, all while trying to protect Annie who becomes entangled in the dangerous situation. 

While evading capture, Tom works with FBI agent Sean Meyers (Jeffrey Donovan) to gather evidence that will eventually bring down John and Ramon and clear his name.

Starring across from the king of thrillers Liam Neeson is Kate Walsh as Annie Wilkins. 

Other cast members include Jai Courtney as Agent John Nivens, Anthony Ramos as Agent Ramon Hall and Jeffrey Donovan as Agent Sean Meyers. 

Robert Patrick and Jasmine Cephas Jones also play Agent Sam Baker and Beth Hall respectively.

While reception to the film is mixed, the general consensus is that it's a great movie to switch off to – especially if you love Liam Neeson. 

At the time of its release, Deadline wrote: "If you are looking for escapism these days – and who isn't? – Honest Thief is a genre picture that delivers pure entertainment, nothing more but fortunately nothing less. Neeson fans won't be disappointed."

Meanwhile, Empire wrote: "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."
