Despite the unfavourable reviews that The Foreigner is getting, I still enjoyed the film alot.
Part because as I mentioned once before, it hits very close to home. The back politics and historic violence between the UK and Ireland is still an ongoing thing with it's legacy, and then throw in "The Chinaman" a Vietnam War veteran into the mix from another deadly past, it makes for a very interesting dynamic of real world political ideology and tension.
Jackie's character has a really tragic history, yet his military training must be very

because he does some very brutal good ol' fashioned stuff (And alot of off-screen special forces action man shenanigans i.e. he's a fucking ninja!

). And then Pierce Brosnan's performance as a "Gerry Adams" type political figure with his own dark past was also really well done. Both made for a very interesting interaction and tug of war in their methods of conflict.
Some of the dialogue in all the much seriousness is also unintentionally funny as well.
