In his relentless search for the identity of the terrorists, Quan is forced into a cat- and-mouse conflict with a Irish government official (Brosnan), whose own past may hold clues to the identities of the elusive killers. ## Images ![The Foreigner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GcZaX2fYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine work by everybody, worth the money and the time to watch twice *by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2018* Other reviews tell story, action, etc. I would say only that Chan has captured and worked every which way with his aging body and chops to produce a character weary in grief, with nothing to lose and one thing left to do. It is violent, full of betrayal twists, and the fight scenes look effortful, deadly, and not about choreography but dead serious death in the offing as the main guy goes from foxy warnings to sheer survival ploys. Heartbreaking above all. Good, worth it, see it twice to really track how everybody screws everybody in both senses of the word. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exciting and thrilling - it got to me *by D***M on Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2018* I was looking for a Jackie Chan movie to pass the evening with. I have always enjoyed his martial arts techniques, the amazing stunts and the simple, fun plots. I found one movie that seemed to fit the bill but the dialogue was dubbed and it seemed to simple for me. It must have been one the very earliest. So I skipped on to another one on the list: Foreigner. Even though I don't like Pierce Brosnan I like Chan enough to compensate.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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jackie Bourne, the elder years *by V***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2018* This was a different kind of film for Chan, and I liked it, a lot. There's nothing new here, old man's daughter gets killed, old man doesn't like it, old man implores cops to catch her killers, they don't, old man takes matters into his own hands, turns out old man is a bad dude, enter twist, enter craziness, enter pointless doublecrossing, enter tear jerking ending. Fin.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. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/138376370-the-foreigner](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/138376370-the-foreigner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
