Review of The Foreigner (2017) by Joseph P — 04 Nov 2017
The Foreigner:
I think that the movie on the whole is honestly pretty dang awesome.
It doesn't do anything revolutionary with the action thriller movie formula however it does put I think a unique enough spin on it to where this can stand enough on its own.
Jackie Chan is awesome and while his fight scenes are of course incredible, I was most impressed by his dramatic capabilities as an actor. But yes his fight scenes are amazing and Martin Campbell certainly knows how to shoot this man's fight choreography.
Pierce Brosnan also does a great job as the movies antagonist. Even though the story might be the weakest part of it behind the directing and acting I still think it was a pretty interesting story on the whole of a man going back to his old life and embracing his dark side one more time to get some semblance of justice when he feels he's lived a life completely devoid of justice.
