Normally I am not one that is particularly keen on Western movies, as it tends to be far in between good ones that manage to entertain me. But as luck would have it, I had the opportunity to sit down and watch the 2021 movie "Honor Among Thieves", so I did.
Now, I wasn't really harboring much of any expectations to writer Jason Watson and director Brett Bentman's movie, as I had never heard about it prior to getting sit down to watch it. But hey, at least the writer and director had every opportunity to win me over here.
Turns out that "Honor Among Thieves" was just a generic Western movie. While the intentions might have been the driving force behind the movie, the end result was a subpar experience. The storyline was just a bit too bland for me, and it didn't really have much of any excitement or enjoyment to it. And the character gallery in the movie was about as interesting as tumbleweed bouncing by in the wind.
Sure, they had managed to get a believable enough atmosphere to the movie, but the lack of an interesting storyline just made the movie feel prolonged and it was an ordeal to sit through it to the end.
The acting in the movie was fairly wooden and rigid, lacking proper commitment most of the times. So it never really felt natural as the actors and actresses trotted along throughout a bland and generic script and dialogue.
The 2021 movie "Honor Among Thieves" is a movie that came and went without any lasting impression or anything. This movie was highly forgettable as it was so incredibly mundane.
My rating of "Honor Among Thieves" lands on a three out of ten stars.
