Shan Khan’s London-set debut feature, Honour, attempts to combine a thriller framework with a social-issue concern -- "Honour killings," which, per the movie’s closing credits, are estimated by the United Nations to total well into the four figures on a yearly basis. Khan invites the possibility of having his political agenda override his filmmaking responsibilities; thankfully, though, he reveals a strong knack for constructing suspense, and the movie’s ultimate flaws are more narrative-based than message-related. Honour tackles its subject from the perspective of Mona (Aiysha Hart), a British-Pakistani real-estate agent who develops a relationship with a Punjabi man (Nikesh Patel). However, Mona’s strict family -- led by he...

In "Honour," writer/director Shan Khan's debut feature, a young woman named Mona lives a double life in London, free and self-determined in public but chafing at home under the strict precepts of her devout mother. Mona and her boyfriend are both Muslim, but he is Punjabi while she is Pakistani, and in the eyes of her mother and older brother Kasim, a policeman with a violent temper, the match is so shameful that Mona must die for it. At first, Kasim attempts to to take matters into his hands, but Mona flees the city, and her family turns instead to a racist ex-con bounty hunter to finish the job. In its review of the film when it opened in the UK in April, THR called Khan's film "an accomplished debut," and praised his screenplay, which critic Stephen Dalton wrote "contains some smart twists and trapdoors, scrambling chronology so...

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. I’m “biast” (pro): was hoping for a smart exploration of a subject that is desperate for it
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
And I was so looking forward to this. So-called “honor” killings — where values of “honor” are, appallingly, all about nothing more than a woman’s virginity — are a horrific thing that impact women worldwide, even in the supposedly enlightened West. And it’s a subject that would warrant more attention in a pop culture that was as concerned with women’s stories as it is with men’s.

★★☆☆☆"Without it, life means nothing" according to a quote that fills the screen in the opening moments of British director Shan Khan's twisting London-set thriller, Honour (2014). Attempting to straddle the potentially conflicting identities of cultural expose and nerve-shredding cat-and-mouse chase, it revolves around the horrifying practice of so called 'honour-killings' in Muslim communities and families. Reportedly on the rise here in the UK, Khan's film seeks to shine a light onto these dark slayings whilst providing popcorn entertaining. The ambition is certainly a noble one, but sadly it does not quite work on this occasion, with both message and tension hamstrung by unconvincing characters.

With his debut feature Honour – starring Paddy Considine and Aiysha Hart – out now in cinemas across Britain, we had the distinct pleasure of discussing the project with the film’s writer and director, Shan Khan.
The film tackles the themes of honour killing, as we delve into the life of a young girl (Hart), victim of her own family, who seek is murdering her for bringing shame upon their family – hiring the fascist bounty killer (Considine) to see the job through.
Where do you feel honour sits with the rest of contemporary British thrillers?
We’ll, I’d like to think it sits right at the top, but unfortunately that would be wishful thinking on my part. I’m glad that people are seeing it as a thriller and not seeing it as an issue-based movie, so that’s a really good thing; a great big tick, because it’s...

A British thriller about honour killings avoids worthiness but succumbs to melodrama
Writer/director Shan Khan describes his somewhat conflicted first feature as an attempt to tell a story about the harrowing subject of "honour" killings in a manner that could not be dismissed by a mainstream audience as too "worthy". The resulting thriller is torn between providing a serious portrayal of a very real social problem (the yearly number of such cases in the UK is now thought to be in double figures) and indulging in more generic melodrama as Mona (Aiysha Hart) is hunted by her British Muslim family with the aid of Nf thug Bounty (Paddy Considine), whose old Aryan Brotherhood allegiances appear to be taking their toll. The performances are strong, particularly from Harvey Virdi who breathes creepy life into the role of murderous mother, and cinematographer David Higgs makes good use of the shadows and light in the urban locations,...

Today sees the release of Richard Ayoade’s second feature film, The Double. Another solid instalment from one of Britain’s most promising new directors. Also released today is Shan Khan’s Honour, starring arguably the finest working British actor of his generation, Paddy Considine. Considine himself has made appearances in both Ayoade’s films, and with that in mind, here is one UK dream team that we would love to see.
Director- Richard Ayoade
Ayoade is well known for his comedic style. Bursting on to UK television with the It Crowd, his quirky sense of humour seeps through in to both The Double and debut feature, Submarine. The BAFTA nominated Submarine cemented Ayoade as one of the most promising new voices in the British film industry. The black humour, the gentle tragedy, and the hysterical performances is a refreshing voice in the doom and gloom of a lot of British Cinema,...

Paddy Considine stars as a nameless bounty hunter tracking down runaway Muslim girls in this semi-interesting hot mess
No film starring ace character-actor Paddy Considine (The Bourne Ultimatum, Dead Man's Shoes) can ever be wholly worthless, but Honour won't be counted as a career highlight for him. On particularly terse and glowering form here, he plays a nameless bounty hunter hired by ultra-traditional Muslim families to track down runaway young women who have supposedly sullied their kinsfolk's good name. "Honour killing" is indeed a deeply serious issue, fully deserving of robust dramatic treatment. But it's as if the film-makers felt they couldn't deliver the didactic lesson unless they wrapped this up in pulpy, thriller trappings, with a kettle-drum-heavy, action-movie soundtrack, umbral lighting and a white antihero, who has to be a one-time National Front supporter in order to make his moral journey interesting. The striking Aiysha Hart holds up her...

The statistics for honour killings in the UK makes for a disquieting read. The idea that so many people are murdered for bringing shame upon their family or community, most of which are women, and predominantly for cultural and religious reasons, is inconceivable. It’s therefore somewhat refreshing to see a filmmaker, in this instance Shan Khan, approach such intriguing, yet mostly untouched cinematic territory. However, this particular endeavour loses its way somewhat, and the more delusory it becomes, the further away from reality we find ourselves.
The victim, in this instance, is the young Mona (Aiysha Hart), who is targeted by her mother (Harvey Virdi) and two brothers, Kasim (Faraz Ayub) and Adel (Shubham Saraf), when they learn of her intentions to run away with her boyfriend Tanvir (Nikesh Patel). Desperately wishing to avoid the shame and dishonour that comes with such an act, they plot to murder Mona,...

A grim reflection of contemporary Britain and the so-called 'honour killings' that take place within certain communities, Shan Khan's directorial debut is a gritty thriller that doesn't know whether it wants to educate or entertain. The film's relatively engaging nature is largely reliant on the authenticity and tenacity of the performances from its impressive leads Aiysha Hart, Paddy Considine and Faraz Ayub.
Honour explores the repugnant repercussions of Mona (Hart) angering her Muslim family by embarking on an affair with a Punjabi man (Nikesh Patel). Mona's policeman brother Kasim (Ayub) and mother (Harvey Virdi) want her dead for supposedly dishonouring their family and hire an unnamed racist bounty hunter (Considine) to track her down on the streets of London.

After directing Edward Bond's Bingo at the Young Vic, with Patrick Stewart in the lead, I decided to make a short film inspired by the play
Edward Bond's play Bingo, which focuses on the last months of Shakespeare's life, captures many of the beauties and horrors of the poet's age. At one point, Shakespeare's character describes "women with shopping bags stepping over puddles of blood" on the streets of London. At another, he stands under the body of a beggar woman who has been hung from a gibbet, and remembers watching bear-baiting. "The baited bear … tied to the stake," he says, as if reliving the scene. "Its dirty coat needs brushing. Dried mud and spume. Pale dust."
Paris Gardens, where bears were baited, is in Southwark – just around the corner from the Young Vic, where I've recently been directing Bond's play. Now one of the few visible remnants...

The annual ranking of the best unproduced UK film scripts, this year’s list was just revealed this week. Eighty industry insiders were polled on their favorites; films such as Nowhere Boy followed by Jane Eyre were tops was tops in 2008, while 2009's List saw Good Luck Anthony Belcher grab the top spot which has yet to go into production, but films #3 (Now Is Good), #4 (Salmon Fishing In The Yemen) and #6 (Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) are currently in different stages of prod. Top of this year’s poll was Sex Education, written by Jamie Minoprio and Jonathan M Stern, who contributed to the writing of I Want Candy and both St Trinian’s films, which may be a clue to the tone of the film. Said to concern a schoolboy’s plot to take revenge on one of his teachers by seducing his wife, the script is being developed by BBC Films and Ruby Films.
