The Foreigner

Quan is a humble London businessman whose long-buried past erupts in a revenge-fueled vendetta when the only person left for him to love – his teenage daughter – dies in an Irish Republican Army car bombing. His relentless search to find the terrorists leads to a cat-and-mouse conflict with a British government official whose own past may hold the clues to the identities of the elusive killers.

Excellent movie! Actually several movies in one - political thriller, martial arts and revenge. Awesome acting and story - and this beautiful Irish accent... 10/10

An unexpected movie from Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan with a story playing out in a way that you really don't expect. The trailer gives you the premise but doesn't give anything away.

You see Jackie Chan in a different light, vulnerable and broken yet determined. The action was constant and the intensity kept building up with unexpected twists you couldn't help but enjoy.

Jackie Chan & Pierce Brosnan in their unique roles made this dramatic action thriller a hit.

Not your typical movie, go enjoy it!

Damn! This was really good. Watching Old Age Jackie doing realistic stunts was pure love. Pierce Brosnan nailed the Irishman role. Overall a good movie. Worth a watch.

I honestly didn’t expect it to be any good. I don't know why, but I kept expecting it to be one of those low-budget films that somehow have a strong cast. But I was so wrong. The Foreigner is actually really solid. Jackie Chan gives one of his best serious performances, and Pierce Brosnan is great too. The story keeps you hooked the whole time, and there’s way more depth and emotion than I expected. Definitely worth watching if you’re into revenge thrillers. I only wish I had watched it sooner.

The only thing that comes to mind about what I didn't particularly like in this movie is that Jackie Chan's character, Quan Ngoc Minh, didn't have as many scenes as he should've.

The movies of Jackie Chan always are good, and this is not the exception.

A serious action movie. Loved the acting from Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan. A good plot and the storyline. Highly recommended.

I just finished watching this. It was interesting to get a little peak behind the The Troubled (intentional use) times that Northern Ireland had to face. I honestly didn't know. However this is just a peak. I'm left here wondering if this movie had any political message. Brexit apparently has put a new strain on the supposed 'peace' accords that were reached once upon a time (20 years ago?). Anyway, from a historical pov this movie spoke to me, as I am a history buff.

The movie itself was action-packed. Even the easier moments meant for character building and just advancing the story along so that we can have another fight scene featuring Jackie, felt like a minefield. I literally mean it when I say that this movie will have you sitting on the edge of your chair. Brosnan and his accent felt very much at home. The way he plays his role definitely lets you know why he was once 007. McElhatton had a small part to play in all of this, but it just felt so right. I was thoroughly impressed with all the actors and the ways they just took charge of their characters.
