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.

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!

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

I knew - Jackie Chan can fight, Jackie Chan can do his own stunts, Jackie Chan can be a funny man. But now I know - Jackie Chan is a good dramatic actor! Interesting plot premise - Rogue IRA terrorists in 2017 and the foolhardiness behind trying to control such dangerous means for a political end. Great cast (good to see Pierce Brosnan recapturing his native brogue). Good performances. This was a good thriller. I give it a 7 (good) out of 10. [Drama, Thriller]

It's a good idea in concept, but the politics of the movie felt too unrelatable, making the story more boring than it should have been. The story should have focused more on establishing an emotional connection between the audience and Jackie Chan's character, seeing the story uncover from his perspective, rather than so much of the focus being on the (frankly uninteresting) Irish terrorist side of things.

Jackie Chan just keeps fuckin' bringing it doesn't he?

The serious tone of _The Foreigner_ fits him well, but the role he plays seems oddly shoehorned in. I understand that the movie is in actual fact based on a novel called _The Chinaman_, which I assume unfolds more or less as the film does. Bu More
