Critics Consensus

Shan Khan directs with authority and style, but Honour wastes its impactful premise on a formulaic, intermittently effective thriller.

I find it incredible the film's producer would compare atrocities committed by select elements of the allied forces to the German military premeditated agenda. Germany STARTED a worldwide war to rob nations of their resources and launched a genocidal campaign (totaling in the millions) with no military purpose---mass murdering people including women, children and elderly for simply being Jewish, Slavic, sickly, mentally ill, crippled or basically anyone who didn't fit the ridiculous notion of what an "Aryan " race should look like (I find this ironic as Herr Pig Hitler looked anything but Aryan as well as suffered from serious bowel disease with an extreme case of flatulence making him unbearable to be in the same room as per testimony of his generals). The German people loved this maniac and please spare me the lie that most German soldiers, especially within the officer ranks, were unaware The Final Solution was taking place in addition to being willing participants in the systematic looting of nations. If you doubt any of this, one can start with Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen. Were there some honorable German soldiers?---sure, "honorable" only once they realized their fearless leader Herr Pig Hitler was completely insane and Germany was doomed to lose the war. Having lost family members to Nazi pigs, I find the film offensive to suggest one should shed a tear for some SS barbarians who were notoriously known for butchering innocent people wholesale. Yeah, let's feel sorry for the bully who threw the first punch for getting his ass handed to him.

A powerful multifaceted story of a young Pakistani woman in Britain who not only disapprove of her boyfriend, a Punjabi, but decide to have her killed to save their "honour". Apart from the girl herself, it is hard to find any goodies in teh film and that makes it tricky to get a handle on. I'd suggest sticking with it and appreciating its portrayal of a society in violent change.

The film certainly goes to extremes within its setting to get its point across, but at the same time provides a decent enough thriller-drama.

Times (UK)

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

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

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

Movie Talk

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.

Rated: 3/5
