timkiess Chan was convincing as a distraught father. He should have at least been nominated for an oscar. This movie was much better than critics thought.

henry8-3 After Jackie Chan's daughter is killed by the so called 'authentic IRA' he sets out to track down her killer, by coercing ex IRA member and now deputy minister Pierce Brosnan to find out who did it. 2 stories essentially run in parallel here, Chan's revenge which gives us most of the standard, albeit well paced action and Brosnan working to find the killers whilst his past catches up with himNot surprisingly given Martin Campbell is at the helm this hangs together well particularly the political elements and a fine star performance from Brosnan - seeing an older more subdued turn from Chan is also interesting

Paul Magne Haakonsen This is a more mature movie from the Jackie Chan vault, and it is nice to see him branch out like this and move away from the usual slapstick comedy, although that is very lovely as well."The Foreigner" has a good story that follows a good script, although it was somewhat generic and linear.The characters in the movie were quite nicely fleshed out. Although I didn't really grasp the accent that Pierce Brosnan was using throughout the movie as it sounded a bit too forced, but then again I am not sure if some Irish people actually speak that way.While this is not your average Jackie Chan movie then there were enough action in it to make it entertaining.All in all, "The Foreigner" was an entertaining movie.

bryanf-85728 Jackie Chan is an icon of martial arts and making great light-hearted comedy films based around his martial arts skills. But in the Foreigner, we see another side of the man- a thoughtful, broken man. Suffice to say this is Chan's first foray into drama and he is more than competent. Which is not to say there aren't any action sequences, but they are an afterthought. Chan plays a grieving father seeking revenge and the tone is somber so be prepared- this isn't usual Jackie Chan fare. But do go see it just to see a different side of the 63-year-old icon. (Go see it for Jackie Chan the actor)
