Honest Thief (2020)
6/10
It even has a "I will find you, and I will kill you" moment.

A slick thief (Liam Neeson) has been robbing safes for years in the Boston area and has become known as the 'In-out bandit'. He decides to go straight and hand himself in and give all the loot back after he meets and falls in love with a woman (Kate Walsh) who runs the lock-up where he keeps his loot. He calls the FBI and a couple of crooked agents (Jai Courtenay and Anthony Ramos) who decide to keep the money for themselves and set him up, putting him and his gal in danger, but he goes to ground and after them.

Another standard TAKEN type of action film for Neeson following the likes of UNKNOWN (2011), RUN ALL NIGHT (2014), THE COMMUTER (2018), as well as two TAKEN sequels. It is slickly enough made to get away with it, but also feels a bit cut and paste from those previous films. As such it provides some reliable and exciting action and enough violence to be a guilty pleasure. However, the central relationship doesn't have enough chemistry to be convincing, despite a decent performance from Walsh.
