Movie Review: The Foreigner... Never Push a Good Man to the Limit

ainie.kashif (65)in #blog • 7 years ago (edited)

Quan (Jackie Chan), a humble small-time restaurant owner with a long-buried past seeks justice when his daughter is killed in a London terrorist bombing in a senseless act of politically motivated terrorism.

Quan's daughter was so eager to buy that party dress she has been eying for so long and cannot wait for her father to park the car. He was just about to park his car when suddenly...

A tearful Quan holding his dead daughter. Why why why? Quan's peaceful and quiet life was turned upside down and he erupts in a revenge-fueled mission to haunt and kill the killer of his daughter.

His daughter was the only family he had in this whole world. His wife and two young daughters were killed during those time they migrated from China to British on boat.

My tears rolled down when he said to the police officer "I have no family, my daughter...she was the only one left for me".

He Wont Stop Until They All Pay
Quan's relentless search to find the killer leads to a cat-and-mouse conflict with an Irish Deputy Minister Liam Hennessey (Pierce Brosnan) whose own past may hold the clues to the killer identities. There is tension in the air when Quan said to Liam "I want names, give me the names of the killer who killed my daughter. I have chosen you and I will not stop until I get the names"

Don't be fooled by his look. He may look as a tired old man but this old dude is a tireless fighter who was once a decorated ex-soldier and a bomb expert. It was so gratfying for me each time he blew up something belongs to Liam.. like Liam's office, car, etc he would just call Liam after each blast with a question "I want names, give me names"...

This movie is based on the 1992 book 'The Chinaman' by Stephen Leather. My tears rolled down as I can feel the grieving dad who is orphaned in this world after losing his only daughter that he raised as a single father with lots and lots of care and love. A brilliant plot to make you keep guessing... nevertheless a gratifying ending.

Morale of the Story...
Never push a Good Man to the limit

The best feeling in the whole world is watching things finally fall into place - Life is beautiful @ainie.kashif
