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.

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.

Formulaic, but solid political thriller. Chan and Brosnan are dedicated and impressive here, taking on sides we don't often see from them. The score is fantastic too. Though, if you're a Jackie Chan fan please don't go to this expecting to see a typical action flick from him

I saw _The Foreigner_ (2017) last week and I thought it was a fine revenge film. It was interesting to see Jackie Chan take on more serious roles than the usual comedic action that he's mostly known for. I coulda sworn I heard "Bond" on Pierce Brosnan's Lumia phone (640 XL?). Anyway, it was good to see him, both of the them, on the big screen again. I'd say it's worth a look when it's on your favorite streaming service or home release.

This is a really good Thriller/Action movie. Heavy on the Thriller and light on the Action, which is completely unexpected from a Jackie Chan movie. Definitely worth a watch if you like either genre or Chan or Brosnan.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

A very interesting, dark film. I like Jackie Chan in more serious roles, but at some point in the film I had the feeling that he was only decorative attachment. The film would probably have worked just as well without him. On the other hand, I only watched it because his name is on the cover. In this respect: Really good. Really oppressive, sometimes very brutal. A great synthie score is bubbling in the background, while the terror theme is well rolled up.

A slick political action thriller that works in spite of a trite overwrought story-line due to some fine action set pieces and a good caliber of acting. One of the better latter day Chan films, I was never bored and found myself fairly invested.

The Foreigner managed to deliver. Excellently paced and quite good acting hid some of the shortcomings of the story, but there are a few things I wish they had done differently. The biggest one is that Jackie Chan's character almost takes a back seat in the middle part of the movie. I know Jackie Chan is getting "up there" in age, but I still think they could have utilized his talent for action a bit better. Anyway...The Foreigner is very watchable and delivers almost 2 hours of quite decent entertainment.
