It is a performances centric movie
How sad is this?
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I did not expect this film to be as good as it was. From the way the film has been shot to the excellent quality of acting displayed by the characters. I am no expert film critic, but I can safely say that this was an amazing movie. I highly recommend watching this film!!
This is a great movie; I wasn't expecting much so was hugely surprised by the plot and the story line. Very much worth seeing! Best bit was having Jackie Chan back in the movie. Such a legend.
This movie is a typical movie in a lot of ways. Guy loses family and wants revenge, has military background. But the fact that it's Jackie Chan makes it unique because it's less about his chaotic action and more about making traps, and being dramatic. There is some good political story between the Brits and Ireland as well. Pretty much what I expected, though it felt like Jackie was only in half the movie.
'The Foreigner' is quite formulaic action revenge thriller that doesn't offer much new or fresh, but still somehow manages to stay away from the path of dull clichés. Dedicated and masterful performances by its two leads, Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan, who both are little bit in a different water than most of us are used to see them. For me (I think I'm not the only one), the two actors were the only reason I watched that film, and I felt not a second of time wasted. It was nice breath of fresh air to see Jackie Chan's darker, and more serious side. Also, it seemed that writer had put some effort into plotting the 'cloak and dagger' situation between government officials with hazing the clear borders between good and evil.Above average recent action piece that is enlivened by great performances.
