The Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonJul 10, 2014
An uneven mix of serious issue movie and sensational thrill ride, Honour is no masterpiece, but it is an accomplished debut. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisJul 10, 2014
Mr. Khan displays a strong visual sense that makes pivotal scenes pop. The unlikely ending strains credulity, but what this confident debut lacks in subtlety, it more than makes up in execution. Read full review

Honour, for good and bad, is nowhere near as gruesome and downbeat as its subject might suggest. Read full review

Total FilmNeil SmithJul 6, 2014
A serious subject receives a simplistic treatment in an ill-conceived thriller in which the emotive (and timely) issue of honour killings becomes just another plot device. Read full review

Slant MagazineEd GonzalezJul 6, 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. Read full review
