First thing that struck me about this movie was Jackie Chan has become OLD. !
He is over 60 - not as old as me, but - old enough to be slower and not able to perform all the artful stunts and masterful, daring escapades he was famous for.
Second thing that struck me was that terrorists kill innocent people, including women and children and here they were doing it with absolute disregard for the common people who are not involved in their agenda, legitimate though that agenda might be.
The suffering they portrayed got to me. Jackie was in a serious drama and I thought he carried it off very well. I believed in the character he portrayed: a doting father who was too old to get with modern culture of the young in England and so protective of his daughter whom he felt compelled to shelter from harm at all costs.
Brosnan played his part well: that of an old, ex-IRA killer who now made a career of protecting his beloved Irish people from the horrors of murder, bombings. betrayals that he had be a part of in the past, I hurt when Jackie lost her and lost his will to go on living, the feeling that life made no sense anymore.
Old and burnt=out and just wishing life we could have some peace.
When Jackie had to get into it with professional killers, hand-to-hand fighting and face-to-face shooting he acquitted himself well - as well as an old man with all those years of martial arts training and discipline could. I found the fight scenes believable, not cartoonish like so many modern action films.
He tolerated the pains and dealt with the wounds as he was trained to do.
I replayed some of the scenes more than once to get the buildup to the action and to try to understand how it was that Jackie was from China and had been a killer for the Viet Cong in Vietnam, just before and during the time I was there in the Marine Corps. I knew guys like him over there who left the communist side to join with the U.S. armed forces. Fortunately he got out. Unfortunately he lost most of his family to pirates and storms at sea and he did not ever get over it. I never got over Viet Nam either. And I did not lose as much as he did.
I could feel Jackie's pain - the pain of a strong man who does his best and still fails - fails to protect those he loves and has to live with those memories and is so hardened that he could even blow up more people, so disciplined he could go on with his chosen mission to bring justice, get revenge, on the people who killed the only child he had left.
And at the end, when the dust settles and bleeding stops there is a woman. The plane Chinese woman who has been there all this time, waiting and worrying and devoted to him. And then just maybe there is reason to go on living - in her arms.
Yes, this movie got to me.
The ending here is more "feel good" but you get the point. Regardless, without spending a bunch of time writing a thesis length review for a movie that really deserves a simple "it's worth it"... I'll say as much, it's worth it. If you're on the fence, and you can handle Jackie Chan playing an aging Jason Bourne's Asian Uncle, you won't be disappointed. Mr. Chan can still dish out action when he wants to, he's a compelling actor, and I liked the plot and characters for the most part.
Solid 4/5, I should give it a 5/5 comparing to the other movies that have come out lately, but I reserve that for films that genuinely deserve it or get a solid seal of approval family veto on my arbitrary harshness.

As for the film itself, I hope to have a full in-depth review published on my own film and TV review site soon (link in my Amazon profile). But briefly I'll say that it's worth checking this film out. Watching it, it's not hard to see why it didn't get a cinematic release as it does deal with a lot of sensitive subjects, including bomb attacks, the IRA, people from the government colluding with terrorists etc. Story-wise, the film does re-tread some familiar territory as a parent tries to avenge his daughter's death, and there isn't much here that's particularly new or innovative. The action sequences are nicely done, and it's brilliant to watch Jackie Chan still pulling off such active roles in his sixties. The Foreigner is hardly the best film of the year, but it's an enjoyable action-thriller that isn't afraid to tackle some potentially touchy subjects.
