Overview : Based upon a board game of Dragon and dungeons , never to be imagined that it can be turned into a movie is something to look forward too.
Honor Among Thieves delivers a thrilling fantasy adventure that, though long, never wanes in its enjoyment.
Storyline :Two years after being imprisoned for attempting to steal gold and a magical artifact, Edgin (Chris Pine) and best friend Holga (Michelle Rodriguez) hatch a plan to escape and return to Edgin’s daughter Kira (Chloe Coleman). However, she isn’t pleased to see him, believing that he valued riches over her. After realizing they’d been betrayed by an old friend, Edgin and Holga recruit friends old and new — including the sorcerer Simon (Justice Smith), the druid Doric (Sophia Lillis), and paladin Xenk (Regé-Jean Page) — and they set out to retrieve the artifact they had once been after in a bid to save everyone from Sofina, a Red Wizard of Thay (Daisy Head), who has nefarious plans for the population of Neverwinter.Thereafter the action adventure begins which forms the crux of the movie.
Technical Review : Technically the movie is brilliant reminding us about old fantasy adventures .The action sequences are well-choreographed and the special effects believable, and the musical score is lovely and memorable. Everything from the costumes to the hair, makeup and production design is beautiful. Honor Among Thieves really leans into the fantastical elements, and the characters’ travels allow the audience to take in the variety of places and creatures that exist within this world. Crucially, the film acknowledges that failure is always an option, and is a good thing because it at least means one tried.
Also fact that a bunch of misfits end up with the task of saving the world and accidentally becoming heroes gives people a good laugh. The group is not only funny, but they’re also highly skilled and capable of battling their enemies with spells and sword. We get to experience the thrill of the adventure through their eyes..
Performances : Pine and Rodriguez are the pair who light up the screen and make for a comedic duo. Smith and Lillis are solid as Simon and Doric, but it’s Page who is a scene-stealer as he has the most funniest scenes in the movie.
Final Words : the film is an escape from the reality of life taking us to a magical world of monsters and dragons. A good weekend watch
Rating : 3.5*/5*
