London businessman Quan (Jackie Chan) sees his long-buried past erupt in a revenge-fueled vendetta when the only person left for him to love — his teenage daughter — is taken from him in a senseless act of politically-motivated terrorism. In his relentless search for the identity of the terrorists, Quan is forced into a cat-and-mouse conflict with a British government official (Pierce Brosnan), whose own past may hold clues to the identities of the elusive killers.
Insider’s tip: “Campbell keeps the action cooking and the suspense on a high burner in this compulsively watchable conspiracy thriller, while The Foreigner proves again that Chan is the Man – now and forever” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). Sam Fragoso, TheWrap, adds: “There’s still something thrilling about watching Chan, even at 63, fight people half his age. There’s a graceful fluidity to his punching and kicking. He’s poetry in motion. No film can take that away from him — not in 2017, not ever.” Brad Wheeler, The Globe and Mail (Toronto): “The intrigue is high and the action is furious, but a sort of meta subplot is also at work: sexagenarian action-film hero Chan against onetime 007er Brosnan.” James Berardinelli, ReelViews: “. . . it’s well-made, nicely paced . . . .”
