The Foreigner
80Quan is a humble London businessman whose long-buried past erupts in a revenge-fueled vendetta when the only person left for him to love – his teenage daughter – dies in an Irish Republican Army car bombing. His relentless search to find the terrorists leads to a cat-and-mouse conflict with a British government official whose own past may hold the clues to the identities of the elusive killers.
While the movie delivers on its action-packed scenes and features strong performances from Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan, it suffers from pacing issues and a lack of clear direction, alternating between revenge plot and political thriller. Despite these flaws, the story is engaging, the characters are well-developed, and overall, it's an enjoyable experience.
