The Seattle Times - John Hartl
[Martin Campbell's] a master at rejuvenating tired warhorses, and he pulls it off again with this one.
70
Screen International - Unnamed
When it comes to the action scenes, Campbell’s unfussy style works well with Chan’s choreography.
60
The Hollywood Reporter - Clarence Tsui
While Brosnan has quite a few opportunities to show his acting chops, Chan makes do with less.... In any case, it’s good to see Chan swapping his happy-go-lucky persona for two hours for some gravitas as a tragic rogue with a marked past.
60
Variety - Peter Debruge
The Foreigner amounts to an above-average but largely by-the-numbers action movie in which Chan does battle with generic thugs and shadowy political forces.
60
New York Daily News - Ethan Sacks
Now that’s a kick in the head: A Western filmmaker is taking Jackie Chan seriously. The Foreigner, however, takes him a little too seriously.
