THE FOREIGNER

The Foreigner, starring Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan, is a timely action thriller from the director of Casino Royale. The film tells the story of humble London businessman Quan (Chan), whose long-buried past erupts in a revenge-fueled vendetta when the only person left for him to love -- his teenage daughter -- is taken from him in a senseless act of politically-motivated terrorism. In his relentless search for the identity of the terrorists, Quan is forced into a cat-and-mouse conflict with a British government official (Brosnan), whose own past may hold clues to the identities of the elusive killers.

MAIN CASTS

Jackie Chan

This movie shows you the older Jackie Chan. I mean they really highlighted his wrinkles, gray hire, his posture and even his movements. Pierce Brosnan was able to use his Irish accent too which I find quite amusing. To be honest, it made me googled his nationality to check if he is Irish or what because he is a natural. Yes! He is Irish so yeah!

This movie has more realistic approach when it comes to fight scenes. I love how they have connected all the events from plot up to the ending. There are a lot of twists. A lot of unpredictable twists so you better focus! Lastly, you will love the ending! This has been the most dramatic approach of Jackie Chan to any movies he had!

This is one of my favorite movie. The development of the story is worth the time. I spend 4 straight days watching this series and I didn't regret it. I am not a fan of Korean movies but the first time I watched this series, I just get hooked and continued with my Kdrama addiction for almost 3 months! That long, Yes!

There are a lot of twists and details on this one so I suggest you watch the movie attentively. I promise you, you will never get bored. The reason why I gave this 8 is because I didn't like the ending. It is not the typical ending that I wanted. I wish they could have done a better ending! (I won't tell you the ending. hahahahah)

Another Must-Watch!

This movie is a very interesting one. It evolves in the life of Barry Seal that is a talented pilot who got trapped in both cartel and political worlds. This claimed to be based on a true story and I would say this is, in fact, a real story. I love how this tackle the government system of America that represents all the other countries in the world, corrupt and futile. This is definitely a must watch.

I don't want to spoil you guys but this is literally a life of a person who lavishes money and got no other places to store them. I don't want to spoil you guys but I just want to say that just GO and WATCH IT!

GO AND WATCH IT!!!!!
