Reviews

The Seattle Times -
[Martin Campbell's] a master at rejuvenating tired warhorses, and he pulls it off again with this one.
|
|
Screen International -
When it comes to the action scenes, Campbell’s unfussy style works well with Chan’s choreography.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
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.
|
|
Variety -
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.
|
|
New York Daily News -
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.
