This movie essentially revolves around a man named "Jonathan Cold" (Steven Seagal) who is a courier of sensitive material and operates under-the-radar of governmental oversight. As it so happens, he is pressured by a man named "Alexander Marquet" (Philip Dunbar) to deliver a certain package from France to a wealthy businessman of questionable ethics living in Germany. Although he is reluctant to accept this assignment at first, he eventually comes around. However, it isn't long before he realizes that there is much more to this mission than he has told and that there are other parties willing to do whatever it takes to acquire this package from him. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that, other than the excessive killing happening throughout the course of this film, there really isn't much to this film. The plot was confusing, the acting was mediocre at best and the action scenes were totally unrealistic. That being said, while there are certainly some good Steven Seagal movies out there—this isn't one of them and because of that I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

Although the film was shot in Poland, which should make me happy ( i live here) but it did not.The only shot of Warsaw is a meaningful , ugly shot of one of the bridges.Max Ryan is an interesting actor but forcing him to appear with the lit cigarette in all scenes , even when he kills is ridiculous.Also , the film was shot in 2002 and i do believe the action takes place the same year. So why all the phones in Poland have an ancient dial and those in Berlin the keys ? I had key phone at late 70' in Poland , the hotels probably a little later.I write this in the middle of watching (commercial break), but i don't expect a positive change... Anyway, i haven't seen Steven in a good film for a long time ... Is it all about the money?

If you like action thriller adventure I will recommend this to you, but its a little hard to follow. Steve Seagal is a total bad ass but its hard to hear him cause he never talks loud in it also he only makes that one face the whole time. The action was cool butt I fell asleep close to the end so i don't really know how it ended also it was hard to tell what was going on like important parts seemed like they were missing. I still watched it cause i really like steve seagal and like to watch all his movies by him but i wouldn't recommend it unless you really like his movies. this one is good, but its not one of his best ones.

After "Half past dead" comes a movie that was a nail to Seagal's coffin. Goodbye movie career. "The Foreigner" is a straight-to-video Steven Seagal film. It was originally intended to be released as a theatrical feature. God knows why , since it looks even more low budget than "Half past dead" and is even worse. At least "Half past dead" was laughable in some places and had some kind of plot (ripped off "The Rock", but still a plot).This one is incomprehensible . Seagal is a mysterious guy hired by mysterious guy to deliver mysterious package to another mysterious guy . Mysterious guys appear and try to stop him . Lots of mysteries , eh ? This is only thing I can say about the plot . I agree with the reviewer who wrote that the movie makers filmed the action scenes first then decided to put it together as a movie. The plot is nonsense. What is the deal with the title ? It's interesting for me that this movie was made in Poland and there are some known Polish actors in it (Przemyslaw Saleta , Miroslaw Zbrojewicz). It doesn't change the fact that the movie sucks . Seagal has done many terrible DTV films over the years and this is undoubtedly one of the worst.The film has an ultra-cheap look to it. Steven Seagal is not in good shape anymore. The fight are so obviously edited that it makes head hurt. Shootouts are done in bad slow motion. The atmosphere feels absolutely miserable. There is one scene with exploding package that is so stupid , so bad I will never forget it.ARGHHHHH ! Why I'm wasting my time with writing about this piece of s*** ?! I give it 1/10 , because I can't give 0. Enough said.
