YMMV / Honest Thief

• Ensemble Dark Horse: While technically a part of the main cast, Nivens' partner Ramon Hall is well-liked due to being the more sympathetic of the villainous duo and having a relatable goal in comparison to his more generic, greed-motivated partner. Being played by the popular Anthony Ramos also helps. Some people were saddened and even angry that he ultimately died as a result of Redemption Equals Death, even if they saw it coming.
• Vindicated by History: The film received mixed reviews and a decent box office when it was released, not helped by the onsalught of the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, reviewers have been more kind to it over time, seen as a So Okay, It's Average action thriller that was (at the very least) easy and simple to understand...especially in comparison to the director and star's next collaboration released two years after, which has a critical and commercial bomb.
