There is a whole bunch of context and content that I missed the first time, and what I missed is making for an excellent movie experience. Despite showing on more than 2,000 screens, "Suburbicon" made just $2.8 million, making it one of Paramount's worst-performing wide releases ever. The Foreigner is a smart and entertaining foreign film that doesn’t feel all that foreign. The Foreigner (2017) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more. Greatest action move star ever. I loved it ! Can someone explain who is 'Lam'? He didn't want to harm an old frail man who just lost his only remaining family. The Foreigner is an interesting little piece with Pierce Brosnan and Jackie Chan playing off each other in an action thriller. I think the locations are beautiful, the directing is stylish, and the plot is very clever. The dust has settled, Hennessy has a gun to his head by Quan, holding a photo of him kissing the bomber. Directed by Martin Campbell. For the entire time of the movie I thought Hennessy was in the dark about the situation. ._3Im6OD67aKo33nql4FpSp_{border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-widgetColors-sidebarWidgetBorderColor);border-radius:5px 5px 4px 4px;overflow:visible;word-wrap:break-word;background-color:var(--newCommunityTheme-body);padding:12px}.lnK0-OzG7nLFydTWuXGcY{font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.5px;line-height:12px;text-transform:uppercase;padding-bottom:4px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-navIcon)} He's 66. They weren't there to arrest, they were there to stop the next bomb, and kill them (the surviving female terrorist was cold-bloodedly killed at the end). Cherryh's eponymous series, Foreigner begins an epic tale of the survivors of a lost spacecraft who crash-land on a planet inhabited by a hostile, sentient alien race. my favourite James Bond movie of all time is the director of The Foreigner, the new Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan action/thriller set in London, England.. Chan’s character is a man whose daughter is killed by an Irish Republican Army (IRA) bomb. What? Summary: Ngoc Minh Quan is a Vietnamese retired Navy SEAL whose glory days are long past and is now a small business owner.

Love the scene where they show no mercy to the terrorists. That was some black ops team. That's all you're going to do to a man who just committed one act of terror and was fully capable of and almost did commit a second one? I had half-way paid attention to this movie the first time I watched it, and on a current rewatch I'm regretting that. Which brings us to The Foreigner, a movie about the IRA bombing London released right in the middle of the fallout of Britain's controversial and democratically elected decision to leave the European Union. The British punk band Johnny Foreigner’s songs often seem made up of components of older emo and pop-punk songs, but remembered wrong, reversed and compressed into anxious nodes. Could picture him in a Harry Brown type story where he's an old civilian with a dangerous past who gets tied up with some bad dudes who underestimate him. It meant "kill him, or tell him what he wants to know so he fucks off". News & Discussion about Major Motion Pictures, Press J to jump to the feed. This action thriller's machinery grinds to a halt, sabotaged by a surfeit of double crosses and unsavory characters. There are no approved quotes yet for this movie. I'm not a huge action movie guy so not surprisingly I'm not a big Jackie Chan fan. And the contrast between Northern Ireland and China was something I had to think about for a few minutes before I realized I don't have the political background to form opinions. His long-buried past erupts in a revenge-fuelled vendetta when his teenage daughter dies in an act of politically motivated terrorism. Yes Jackie Chan getting his chance go beyond action scene after action scene was very entertaining to watch. am i missing something? One is much longer and ends with Sean getting choked out. The 'Lupin' Books Prove That There's A Lot More Material For Netflix To Draw From. Though it would’ve been better if it was set in the Troubles like the book it’s based on, post-Good Friday Agreement didn’t make too much sense, unless the director just really wanted to see a post troubles Gerry Adams played by Pierce Brosnan, lets be honest, everybody wanted to see pierce brosnan play gerry adams. Next year, Rush Hour 4, and I hope the script done. Then he realized this 'old man' is much more capable, but then it was too late. And day after tomorrow we meet the director and Chris Tucker again to make sure we go the right track.” After a decade-long break from […] I thought it was McGrath (old kneecapped) and Hennessy's misses. It is is a timely action thriller from director Martin Campbell (Casino Royale). Things then spiraled completely out of his control, but he did start the whole affair. This movie is so underrated. I think that's the beautiful thing about it. Just finished and came here, maybe it's because he's used to these kinda of attacks, it's a pretty small one and he thought he could 'overpowered' him. If they kill Quan that is putting the dragon to sleep is it not? As others have said this is more of a political thriller with some action scenes tossed in. Looking for information on the manga Warau Kyuuketsuki? ._1PeZajQI0Wm8P3B45yshR{fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon)}._1PeZajQI0Wm8P3B45yshR._3axV0unm-cpsxoKWYwKh2x{fill:#ea0027} 'The Hate U Give's Long-Awaited Sequel Is Finally Here. "I choose you". A humble businessman with a buried past seeks justice when his daughter is killed in an act of terrorism. Rewatching The Foreigner, really impressed. The veteran acting of Chan and Brosnan carries the film’s dialogue, emotion, and action. At the very end, Bromley orders the sniper to not take the shot at Quan and say "No need waking the dragon". He's still not the most flexible actor, but I think the Foreigner showed he can make certain gritty roles work. ._33axOHPa8DzNnTmwzen-wO{display:block;padding:0 16px;width:100%}.isNotInButtons2020 ._33axOHPa8DzNnTmwzen-wO{font-size:14px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.5px;line-height:32px;text-transform:uppercase} From its beginnings as a human-alien story of first contact, the Foreigner series has become a true science fiction odyssey, following a civilization from the age of steam through early ._1x9diBHPBP-hL1JiwUwJ5J{font-size:14px;font-weight:500;line-height:18px;color:#ff585b;padding-left:3px;padding-right:24px}._2B0OHMLKb9TXNdd9g5Ere-,._1xKxnscCn2PjBiXhorZef4{height:16px;padding-right:4px;vertical-align:top}._1LLqoNXrOsaIkMtOuTBmO5{height:20px;padding-right:8px;vertical-align:bottom}.QB2Yrr8uihZVRhvwrKuMS{height:18px;padding-right:8px;vertical-align:top}._3w_KK8BUvCMkCPWZVsZQn0{font-size:14px;font-weight:500;line-height:18px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon)}._3w_KK8BUvCMkCPWZVsZQn0 ._1LLqoNXrOsaIkMtOuTBmO5,._3w_KK8BUvCMkCPWZVsZQn0 ._2B0OHMLKb9TXNdd9g5Ere-,._3w_KK8BUvCMkCPWZVsZQn0 ._1xKxnscCn2PjBiXhorZef4,._3w_KK8BUvCMkCPWZVsZQn0 .QB2Yrr8uihZVRhvwrKuMS{fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon)} People will always say "he was better back in the 80's when he was at his prime" or some shit. .FIYolDqalszTnjjNfThfT{max-width:256px;white-space:normal;text-align:center} He tries to keep it about as clean as he can until it reaching them and I thought that was kinda cool. For starters: Jackie Chan, an action star who is struggling to find age-appropriate roles in his sixties, is barely in "The Foreigner," an adaptation of Stephen Leather's source novel. He's a really old man now for anything like that. Hennessy admits in his first conversation with McGrath that he was the one who put McGrath up to "hitting a few financial institutions". 'The Foreigner' is a forthcoming revenge thriller based on the 1992 novel 'The Chinaman' by Stephen Leather. Was he lying about his wife dying? Was it his wife? I mean, he can't realistically do action heavy roles any more. They wouldn't have possibly had the time to extract the information, or they would've just killed everyone. I think the embrace/kiss just shows that Quan is finally willing to let go his past life/family (his wife and daughters all died and his last daughter was avenged) and open to express his mutual feeling toward Lam at the end. I only really watched this because someone described to me a new film where Jackie Chan takes on the IRA and it sounded so ridiculous that I had to see it. I'd like to consider myself fairly well-versed in general history and current events of the world, but is there something about the dynamics between the Irish nationalists and British/unionists that I'm not getting here? Jackie Chan is great in The Foreigner. .Rd5g7JmL4Fdk-aZi1-U_V{transition:all .1s linear 0s}._2TMXtA984ePtHXMkOpHNQm{font-size:16px;font-weight:500;line-height:20px;margin-bottom:4px}.CneW1mCG4WJXxJbZl5tzH{border-top:1px solid var(--newRedditTheme-line);margin-top:16px;padding-top:16px}._11ARF4IQO4h3HeKPpPg0xb{transition:all .1s linear 0s;display:none;fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);height:16px;width:16px;vertical-align:middle;margin-bottom:2px;margin-left:4px;cursor:pointer}._1I3N-uBrbZH-ywcmCnwv_B:hover ._11ARF4IQO4h3HeKPpPg0xb{display:inline-block}._2IvhQwkgv_7K0Q3R0695Cs{border-radius:4px;border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-line)}._2IvhQwkgv_7K0Q3R0695Cs:focus{outline:none}._1I3N-uBrbZH-ywcmCnwv_B{transition:all .1s linear 0s;border-radius:4px;border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-line)}._1I3N-uBrbZH-ywcmCnwv_B:focus{outline:none}._1I3N-uBrbZH-ywcmCnwv_B.IeceazVNz_gGZfKXub0ak,._1I3N-uBrbZH-ywcmCnwv_B:hover{border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}._35hmSCjPO8OEezK36eUXpk._35hmSCjPO8OEezK36eUXpk._35hmSCjPO8OEezK36eUXpk{margin-top:25px;left:-9px}._3aEIeAgUy9VfJyRPljMNJP._3aEIeAgUy9VfJyRPljMNJP._3aEIeAgUy9VfJyRPljMNJP,._3aEIeAgUy9VfJyRPljMNJP._3aEIeAgUy9VfJyRPljMNJP._3aEIeAgUy9VfJyRPljMNJP:focus-within,._3aEIeAgUy9VfJyRPljMNJP._3aEIeAgUy9VfJyRPljMNJP._3aEIeAgUy9VfJyRPljMNJP:hover{transition:all .1s linear 0s;border:none;padding:8px 8px 0}._25yWxLGH4C6j26OKFx8kD5{display:inline}._2YsVWIEj0doZMxreeY6iDG{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;line-height:16px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;padding:4px 6px}._1hFCAcL4_gkyWN0KM96zgg{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);margin-right:8px;margin-left:auto;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-errorText)}._1hFCAcL4_gkyWN0KM96zgg,._1dF0IdghIrnqkJiUxfswxd{font-size:12px;font-weight:700;line-height:16px;cursor:pointer;-ms-flex-item-align:end;align-self:flex-end;-webkit-user-select:none;-ms-user-select:none;user-select:none}._1dF0IdghIrnqkJiUxfswxd{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}._3VGrhUu842I3acqBMCoSAq{font-weight:700;color:#ff4500;text-transform:uppercase;margin-right:4px}._3VGrhUu842I3acqBMCoSAq,.edyFgPHILhf5OLH2vk-tk{font-size:12px;line-height:16px}.edyFgPHILhf5OLH2vk-tk{font-weight:400;-ms-flex-preferred-size:100%;flex-basis:100%;margin-bottom:4px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText)}._19lMIGqzfTPVY3ssqTiZSX._19lMIGqzfTPVY3ssqTiZSX._19lMIGqzfTPVY3ssqTiZSX{margin-top:6px}._19lMIGqzfTPVY3ssqTiZSX._19lMIGqzfTPVY3ssqTiZSX._19lMIGqzfTPVY3ssqTiZSX._3MAHaXXXXi9Xrmc_oMPTdP{margin-top:4px} If you haven't seen the film but would like to see the result of the poll, click here. Hennessy told Sean the names so he could give them to Quan, that's what the whole "end this, one way or another" meant. Martin Campbell – the director of Casino Royale (2006), a.k.a. Maybe The Foreigner? I think it's because he has gone all the way to killing the terrorists himself (Stupid assholes. The film established Quan's hatred towards terrorists (how his whole family died). And this is a bit disturbing. It's pretty typically in movies of this ilk to have the one-man-army/one-woman-army character level any and everybody in their path. For being a movie from the director of GoldenEye and Casino Royale, it was pretty damn unsatisfying -- like drinking flat soda. I sort of feel like he was, in a weird way, the 'good' character of the movie but then the movie took a twist right at the end.
