Wow! The film "The Foreigner" is a truly brilliant thriller that holds your breath from the first minute to the last minute. Jackie Chan perhaps gives his career-best performances, both physically and emotionally.

I never watch martial arts movies - just not interested in this genre. But yesterday I watched the Foreigner with Jackie Chan in the main role and I have to say I watched it to the end and was greatly entertained. It's extremely well done,…

I didn't have particularly high expectations of this Jackie Chan flick but it was surprisingly good. Certainly not a typical martial arts film - violent but not overly so. Good story and entertainment, even if the basic plot/premise is…

I am so impressed with this movie. If you like Jackie Chan, you won't want to miss any of this very entertaining movie, in which he plays both the victim and the vindictive predator. He hasn't lost his touch! It's no surprise his net…

Thrilling political action drama based on an amazing book "The Chinaman" or "The Foreigner" by Stephen Leather. The opening tragedy is the starting point for a series of tragedies that unfold with real passion, violence, power, justice,…

Odd movie. Didn't really care about any of the characters or where the story was going, but I did end up watching it all just to see what Jackie Chan's character would do next and what creative fighting methods/weapons he would use. And…

Acting was excellent, but not really my type of flick. Saw 2 of my favorites were starring & didn’t read the plot synopsis.

This was a great action, style and intrigue movie. Jackie Chan takes you on a adventure, complete with twist and turns. Jackie Chan is at his finest in this movie, and it proves age sometimes is a great plus. Five stars for Mr. Chan.

Jackie Chan 'did' do a good job of acting, but, this movie has the same old actors, scenes, plot, beginning and end as 95% of movies. Hollywood carries around a dark bag filled with different words and pulls out one printed word at a time…

Jackie Chan is a man who should not be f*cked with and never to be underestimated. The Foreigner is a well crafted suspense/action movie with a great cast. What lifts this film above others of its genre is both the slow burn of Jackie…

Jackie Chan plays this dramatic role to the hilt, very good. The film is great production, good cast, and filled with inner drama that has a zig-zag conflict all the way to the finale. Ha,Ha. English is the language, but with a Northern…

Directed by Martin Campbell in 2017 based on the 1992 novel "The Chinaman" by Stephen Leather, this British-Chinese action-packed thriller depicts the revenge of a Chinese ex-soldier played by Jackie Chan who lost his daughter in the…

I was very impressed with the acting, writing, direction and depth of characters in this scaled down action film. Impressive acting from Jackie Chan (Police Story:1985; Vancouver filmed, The Rumble in the Bronx:1995; Rush Hour:1998:…

A nice surprise. I thought I would just be skipping through chapters, because people just beating the snot out of each other doesn't interest me, but the intriguing story line held more depth and my attention enough to watch the entire…

This 2017 movie made a ton of money but I was never happy to watch one second of the picture. Of course this kind of movie isn't meant to make us feel good but who wants to sit through 2 hours of watching people blowing up others and…

Surprisingly watchable film. An action flick of course, but with some actual character development, and the carnage dialed way down. Explores the grey space between the clearly good-guys and the clearly bad-guys.

Pierce Brosnan in a juicy, complex role. This film is worth it for his work alone. Jackie Chan does his best serious acting, but Brosnan dominates every scene. Plenty of action, and none of the usual comic element of Chan's output. Very…

The movie was fine. It felt like a B-run movie, but it was definitely different. Great to see Brosnan as a bad guy and Jackie not doing his kung-fu shtick. Weak story line, and typical bad guys that just show up on screen to killed off.…

Based on the previews, I was thinking the focus of the movie was on Jackie Chan exacting his revenge on his daughter's killers. Unfortunately it turned out to be more of a side-story. The acting was good but the overall story dragged a…
