Just finished watching The Foreigner, starring Jackie Chan and Piers Brosnan and directed by Martin Campbell (Goldeneye/Casino Royale).
I really enjoyed this and it was a lot deeper than the trailer suggested. On the surface, it's a revenge action film, but in reality, it's a political thriller with a few action scenes.
Chan is great as a father after the names of the terrorists that planted the bomb that killed his daughter and Brosnan is the politician walking the fine line between collaborator and peace maker.
Everybody is screwing over everyone else to get what they want and Chan's character is a fly in the ointment for them all.
It was genuinely tense at times and I was on the edge of my seat. It's on Netflix and I recommend it.
