MY NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEWS #207


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 an Irish government official (Brosnan), whose own past may hold clues to the identities of the elusive killers. Written by STXfilms (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)

Having grown up on action films and kung fu classic one of the mainstays of the genre was Jackie Chan. He was both an innovator as well as the star known for doing his own stunts no matter how dangerous. Having not seen him in films for some time I went back to catch him in the (2017) FOREIGNER. The story is basically a revenge story that then slowly reveals the secret life of the character played by Jackie Chan. I felt the film delivered what many of the previous Jackie Chan films did and understanding he is much older now and still doing his own stunts was impressive. Overall FOREIGNER delivered what was expected so I give it 3.5 of 5 stars.
