Honour is a good film that should have been and could have been even better.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 11, 2020

An incredible movie, inspiring hope that people who hate can turn around, somehow, some way.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 6, 2019

The subject is important and timely, but gets an over the top, melodramatic, thriller treatment.

| Jan 1, 2018

Despite a tricky back-and-forth, flashback-laden narrative, it is far less cinematically bold than 2014's Catch Me Daddy but does successfully combine social-issue grit with several sequences of heart-clutching suspense.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 13, 2015

Confused plot, accents difficult to understand.

| Original Score: C | Jul 26, 2014

Shan Khan's debut feature film, Honour, is an expose of honor killings in contemporary Britain -- a reality not easily digested.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 14, 2014

British director Shan Khan debuts with an exploitative but absorbing thriller on the topical subject of Muslim honor killing.

| Jul 11, 2014

Whatever impact the film gains from its startling subject is all but dissipated ...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 11, 2014

Mr. Khan displays a strong visual sense that makes pivotal scenes pop.

| Jul 10, 2014

A partially successful hybrid of social-realist drama and escapist revenge thriller.

| Jul 10, 2014

Aiysha Hart delivers a mesmerizing performance as a beautiful Pakistani immigrant raised in England who disgraces her family by planning an elopement with a handsome preppie Punjabi boy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 10, 2014

Khan's orchestration of suspense impresses; he proves especially skilled at dropping well-timed close-ups on objects that immediately add conflict to a situation ...

| Jul 9, 2014

Paddy Considine's benumbed ambiguity at least works against writer-director Shan Khan's reduction of honor killings to grist for the cheapest of pulpy thrills.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 6, 2014

A whole lotta violent bigoted men discussing women's lives as if they merit any say in the matter. If only pop culture were as concerned with women's stories as it is with men's.

| May 24, 2014

A taut thriller about honor killings that is marred by plot improbables. Saved by Paddy Considine's customary fine performance as well as a strong lead character, a young woman fighting against patriarchal chains.

| May 14, 2014

The performances are pretty committed.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 27, 2014

We don't leave the cinema feeling like we've just sat through a truly accomplished piece of cinema, and unfortunately, in this instance, that's what matters most.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 10, 2014

There's such an important issue at the centre of this British thriller that the film should not be ignored, even if filmmaker Shan Khan strains to turn it into a formulaic thriller.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 7, 2014

The film itself never quite comes into focus.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 6, 2014

It's an eye-catching premise, though first-time director/writer Shan Khan lacks the rigour or panache to do it justice.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 4, 2014
