Raycevick's Recommendations: The Foreigner
Added 2021-02-01 14:01:04 +0000 UTCIf there's anybody who consistently proves a traditional premise can be presented unconventionally, it's Martin Campbell, director of Mask of Zorro, Goldeneye, and Casino Royale. What's advertised here as a Jackie Chan revenge film is actually much more interesting and nuanced.
While there's great action scenes featuring Chan and all of his talent, the political backdrop, soundtrack, and especially performances from the actors, are even better. Pierce Brosnan reunites with the director that put his 007 straight to the top, and he might just be the highlight of the film.
Some viewers might be thrown off by the movie featuring so many perspectives, but personally, it compelled me from start to finish.
