The Foreigner starring Jackie Chan And Pierce Brosnan

[Agent Z]

Well this is certainly Jackie like I've never seen him before. I'll definitely catch this when I can.

[Frontier]

So Law Abiding Citizen with more martial arts and moral ambiguity ?

[MikeP]

I have to admit, it goes against Jackie Chan's usual type of movie, and I love it. It does look a bit generic, very Taken-ish. But I'll go see it.

This actually looks like it might be a deconstruction of the typical "Taken" story. For starters, Quan's daughter isn't kidnapped, she'd dead and Quan's quest is finding the bomber responsible.

Secondly, we see Chan trying and failing to bribe a police officer into finding the bombers. Compare this with Taken, where the one authority figure Mills worked with was working with the villains.

Then there's Pierce Brosnan's character, Liam (hehe) Hennesey. Sure he's a former IRA member but Chan only suspects he knows who the bomber are based on his history. In Taken, we knew who the villains were but going from the trailer the film seems to be going for a bit more moral ambiguity.

Once again reminded of Law Abiding Citizen .

Very much a 'Taken' vibe, minus the saving the daughter. I wonder if they'll have the balls to have Pierce actually not be responsible, at least directly.

[SpiderClops]

Unusual role for Jackie Chan, I agree. Well, there was Shinjuku Incident.

I hope there aren't any jump cuts and crap like that. It's Jackie Chan.

The question isn't if he was responsible but rather if he knew who was

[Arfguy]

Goldeneye, Mask of Zorro and Casino Royale are all great action movies.

Martin Campbell may have directed another great action movie.
