The Foreigner

The Foreigner was advertised (if one had seen its commercial) as a vehicle for an old Jackie Chan to become the Chinese Liam Neeson — old man out for revenge on those who took his child. The reality is that it was a political action thriller about the Irish IRA.

Hunh?

Jackie Chan did kick butt, but it was mainly Pierce Brosnan trying to terrorize the U.K. for the sake of ancient Irish grudges.

HUNH.

All I’m trying to say is that it must’ve been a bait and switch on Jackie Chan, too.

Anyway. Meh. I’ve seen worst.

3 of 5 stars.
