The Foreigner – Thursday 27th November 2025

I had no idea that this (2017) movie starring Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, and directed by Martin Campbell, even existed! That’s some A-list talent, so how did it fly so far under the radar that even a movie lover like me, missed it?

It must be crap, right? No, it’s actually pretty decent!

I only discovered it thanks to a Netflix recommendation.
It’s basically a revenge film, featuring political intrigue, that doesn’t shy away from Britain’s troubled relationship with Ireland.

Seeing Jackie Chan on a one-man revenge mission is always going to be good, and whilst not as stylish or action packed as a ‘John Wick’ movie, it’s still worthwhile, although not quite a ‘must-see’ material.

Still, if you fancy an action movie with a little bit of substance to it, definitely give it a go!
