The Foreigner (2017)
A Tense Thriller of Vengeance and Justice
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
The Foreigner (2017), directed by Martin Campbell, is a gripping action-thriller that follows Quan Ngoc Minh (Jackie Chan), a humble Chinese restaurant owner living in London, whose life is turned upside down when his daughter is killed in a terrorist bombing. As the authorities, led by Irish politician Liam Hennessy (Pierce Brosnan), seem reluctant to take swift action, Quan embarks on a personal mission for revenge, using his military training and lethal skills to uncover the truth and bring those responsible to justice.
The film blends tense, emotional drama with fast-paced action and espionage, showcasing Jackie Chan in a more serious, dramatic role. His performance is poignant and powerful, offering a fresh side to the actor typically known for martial arts and comedy. While the plot is familiar, the film is elevated by its strong performances, especially from Chan and Brosnan, and the compelling exploration of grief, vengeance, and the complex nature of justice.
