Synopsis

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.

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
bigbucketofjomama I love this movie through and through. I've made all my friends and family watch it, and I've seen it myself no less than a dozen times. It is precisely my cup of tea. Why? Well, I'm not too great at explaining myself or critical thinking on film, but I'll give it a shot.The pacing. Starts out with a bang, dials it way back, then turns up gradually. We don't so much see a mystery unfold as we do go through a process somewhat behind the eyes of Jackie Chan's character. He takes his time, not that he bides it.The fallible hero. Jackie Chan is old. You didn't know? Well he is. And it shows. They don't try to go the Stallone route where he somehow hasn't lost a step and can fight a tank even though he's in his 70's. When he gets hit, it hurts. No more 30 minute long fights with ladders and folding chairs.The villain. Pierce Brosnan is one of my faves, and he turned up a good performance, in my opinion. An ex-extremist gone soft, playing politics. His presence enough would've been enough to satisfy, but he played the part well. Thankfully.The score/soundtrack. Carpenter-esque, and it really sets the tone. Keeps it tense. People who aren't familiar with Carpenter might liken it to the score used in Stranger Things. And I think it's perfect.I guess those are the major points. Now go watch it. It may be the last time you get to see Jackie Chan in a decent movie.
philmccarthy10 I was worried that this was going to be either an out of its comfort zone martial arts movie or an awkward political drama with misplaced action scenes wedged in but instead we got a fantastic and quite heartbreaking revenge drama featuring two very strong lead performances and realistic action set pieces stripped of any gloss. Highly recommend.
Sankari_Suomi A young Chinese woman has been killed, and she's just good looking enough to make people care. Who is the culprit? It's the Irish of course, those miserable bastards! Do they know her father was Jackie Chan? No they do not, but they're about to find out in the worst possible way. Will the filthy Irish end up double-crossing and slaughtering each other in an orgy of violence and mistrust? Yep, because that's what they always do! Meanwhile, the authorities have absolutely no idea how to handle this case.Can a humble chef from the local Asian takeaway reach the truth of this mystery before the police send an innocent man to prison? Will Sean Morrison enjoy incestuous sex with his aunt for a second time before the credits roll? Who blew up the toilets in the deputy First Minister's office? Why is Liam Hennessy such a dick?I rate The Foreigner at 26.64 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a zesty 8/10 on IMDB.
bubilica69 Until the end of the movie I was persuaded that it is a great thriller. Especially that it had so great acting celebrities such as Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan. But from the starters it buggered me that Brosnan is speaking like he has to visit a toilet. It is an almost 2 hour packed action with amazing plot and thriller like story, but the end just disappoints... I wont throw any spoilers, but believe me, you will be tremendously angry at yourself because you spent 2 hurs of your time on this movie. Sufficiently to say that one of the main characters in the movie is not shown for at least a half an hour in this cinematographic disaster! JUST SHAME.... Great story with lame execution and the end is, well, just for crying.....
