Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

The Foreigner (2017)







Directed by: Martin Campbell

Written by: David Marconi & Stephen Leather (novel)

Starring: Jackie Chan & Pierce Brosnan






After an explosion killed his daughter, Quan (Chan) is determined to get revenge and know the names of the killers.  Questioning and stalking Liam (Brosnan), who is may have information as to who did the bombing is his main goal.  But Liam claims to not know anything.   But is he lying?

I thought the film would mostly be about Jackie Chan, but it isn't.  He's in it, doing his regular stunts, but the film is mostly about Brosnan figuring out who did the bombing.  That was kind of disappointing.

But the scenes with Chan were excellent.  He definitely showed his acting chops and presented his dramatic side.

3 popcorns.
