Review The Foreigner - Who said Thanh Long was out of time?

Marking the return of Jackie Chan, The Foreigner is really a worthy movie for you to spend your money on, especially if you are a fan of Jackie Chan or fans of classic action movies.


In the last decade or so, we have witnessed the arrival of so many action films - science fiction with stunning visuals, such as Avatar, the superhero series Marvel and DC, Twilight series, Hunger Games ... all are racing to produce the ultimate fantasy movie, even beyond what we can imagine. Classic action films are so forgotten that no one remembers their golden age. And the Aliens appear, bringing old feelings back, but in those old things, mixed with new things.

One of the greatest things that we can learn in any film set in Europe is that it is beautiful, elegant and very charming in Europe. Whether it's romance films, thrilling action films or tragic psychological films, we've come across ancient European roads, works of bold Western architecture, and even gourmet Cool air is transmitted through the full range of familiar, simple but always effective. In London, the London Eye, the Irish Eye, the natural scene and the mountains in Ireland are shot in less than 2 minutes enough for you to carry. Go up and cross Europe.


There are no more magical and magical weapons in the movie than the Captain's shield or Kingsman's knife with poisonous blade, only homemade bombs that are not massive enough to do damage. The action and decisive "sweet" Chan Long's label is something that can never be ignored when talking about his film. Every shot is quick to surprise the opponent but also slow enough for the audience to watch, unlike the blockbuster movies that when the action, we all wonder whether to hit too fast or hit. "love" type camera that the camera never turn clear enough. The thing that always comes out of Jackie Chan is that even if the film is bad, the fight scenes are never bad, even though they are extremely classics and we've seen them for decades.


The Stranger has taken on a rather strange subject, a former US Special Forces veteran, for wanting revenge for his daughter's death in a bombardment by anti-government forces aimed at serving political plots. He has persecuted and even killed himself most of the masterminds. With a few small twists, the film succeeded in portraying the lives of individual characters. No more intelligent and safe villains to the end of the film, no longer the main characters almost perfect with the well-remain-perfect defects, only a father full of pain and anger I lost my daughter, s-last loved one - ready to do anything to take revenge on me. The villains are now in danger. The pressure from the authorities, the pressure from the relatives planned to betray, and the pressure from an obscure hunter. I always have to worry about what the main character will encounter in the twist, but that is not in the Dagger when the new daddy grabs and is willing to do everything. Along with the political intrigue is not too complicated, but just a moment of absurdity you will not understand the content anymore.

Integrating in the actions of bold Chan, not sophisticated techniques, cascadeur is not the simplest feelings of man: love, love, hate, anger ... We feel very clearly Quan's grave pain as he hugged his son after the explosion, tears streaming down his face with traces of years, eyes full of pain, traumatic anger, anger and hatred All, including myself, for failing to protect my last child. Then there are those eyes, leaving only emptiness and determination to bring revenge near the end of the film. And then the eyes, when the end of the film no longer hold back any emotions, but only to massively burst out with the tears. I do not know if he was crying because he was happy because he finally got revenge for his son or because he was too heartbroken to think about his bad daughter. Jackie Chan is not a big Hollywood actor when he has escaped from his humorous role in previous films to transform himself into a dad who brings out all of these. the most pessimistic of human beings and show them as true as possible.


The next highlight is the former James Bond - Pierce Brosnan. Gentlemen 007 became a politician who escaped from the anti-government forces 30 years ago but still can not completely control his life. It can be said that this is the most pitiful man in the film when he just want to live peacefully with the prime minister but kept up by his colleagues, bosses pressured, wife and mistress did not live with him for love, even Even speaking out of the water, the truth only takes back the threat of life and honor from Guan. If only he was described by a phrase, it was "Poor middleman." If Guan brings the feeling of a dutiful father to love him, then Liam is a man of uncertainty, unable to control almost everything in his life. Pierce Brosnan has been, and still is, a good actress who has a beautiful face in a gentlemanly manner, so even though he plays a bad guy, he still has a good temper. But in terms of what Pierce shows up as Liam, we can see that Pierce has been completely successful in portraying a prime minister who is disgusted and has no memory of 007.


Also, with the arrival of a number of talented sub-actors, TF has drawn a sad but realistic picture of many aspects of society. It's like eating too much seafood, it's time to just eat light dishes. "The Foreigner" is like a frugal dish, but still has enough flavor in the middle of a lavish table. Just remember that this is a psychological action movie, not a comedy that you will be able to enjoy the movie in the right way without worrying that you will be disappointed just because you think Chan's movies are always funny. A return is not rampant, but enough to warm the brand and brand. Who said Jackie Chan was old, was out of time, but this movie like this I still support long.
