In the definition of genre, "The Foreigner" is a solo heroic action film that closely combines political thrillers with trickery and trickery. The two lines of the film were completed by Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan, trying to achieve the confrontation between the small characters and the big ones. After all, it was still a bit reluctant, so that a considerable part of the film was close to the cut-and-paste of two independent films. This shortcoming is inherent in the script. The director and editor's shifting scheduling has been as smooth and natural as possible under the inherent structure of the script, but the double-tracking is still a little late, so that the film is in the middle of Pierce Brosnan's literary section. , Once revealed the failure of procrastination. The film is characterized by the calmness of British films, which is particularly evident in "The Foreigner". The atmosphere of the film is gloomy and low, the tone of the picture is cool, and the soundtrack is restrained and convergent, which matches the mood of the characters. The ending of the film is simple, not sloppy, and at the same time consoling the audience. "The Foreigner" is not an ordinary commercial action blockbuster. The film chooses a remake of a novel more than 20 years ago, but it does not make the audience feel obsolete. Although the plot is far away from ordinary people, the focus is still on the joys and sorrows of the little people in the current complicated international situation. Chinese and foreign audiences enter the theater because they want to find a pastime for their lives; while a director with a serious creative attitude, even if he is shooting a commercial work, he still intends to plant a candlelight of the world and human nature into the commercial. "The Foreigner" takes two aspects into consideration.
The role of Jackie Chan in the film is similar to the role of Clint Eastwood in "Unforgivable", and his tired face clearly reveals the heavy cost of being violence. I don't know if the film crew has plans to launch a sequel, and I look forward to seeing more Jackie Chan like this.
The role of Pierce Brosnan in the film may be the more interesting character in the film, but the role of Jackie Chan makes the film more weight and unpredictable from an ordinary revenge movie. Part of the plot of the film is a bit awkward, but most of it is very serious.
"The Foreigner" surprises the audience that a Western filmmaker can shoot a Jackie Chan movie more seriously, but the style is a bit too serious.
