The Foreigner
The Foreigner, starring Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan, is a timely action thriller from the director of Casino Royale. The film tells the story of humble London businessman Quan (Chan), whose long-buried past erupts 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 (Brosnan), whose own past may hold clues to the identities of the elusive killers.

The Foreigner doesn't break the mold, but it never tries to - and doesn't need to.

'The Foreigner' is a somber and violent feature that shows the deadly consequences of violent extremism.

Jackie's back in town and it's nice to see him in something that isn't so campy. The Foreigner is actually at the other extreme - it's serious to a fault.

For once, Chan isn't the most incomprehensible thing in one of his movies.

Chan often feels like a visitor in his own film, and the script attempts some plot pirouettes that don't always flow gracefully. Yet overall, The Foreigner proves to be a respectable example of a thinking person's action flick.

Chan's acting and that of Brosnan is a great change of pace in a film that's a nice change of pace from the average action-thriller.

The Foreigner is a good, lean cut of meat-in other words, a typical Martin Campbell movie, expeditious and cold-blooded in its cross-cut, cloak-and-dagger plotting and violence.

The movie is at its best when it's keeping things simple, specifically with the game of cat and mouse that plays out between Pierce Brosnan and Jackie Chan.

This narrative splice job simply doesn't hold together. Call it a taut mess or a hot mess, take your pick.

I'm not sure anyone has plans to turn this into a franchise, but I certainly want to see more from this Chan-aissance.

It's well-made, nicely paced and accomplishes what we expect from this sort of film.

Chan ... remains a likeable everyman hero type that the audience roots as he navigates his world through a labyrinth of violence and betrayal.
