Critic Reviews
The Foreigner is a good, lean cut of meat—in other words, a typical Martin Campbell movie, expeditious and cold-blooded in its cross-cut, cloak-and-dagger plotting and violence. - The A.V. Club - Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Jackie’s back in town and it’s nice to see him in something that isn’t so campy. The Foreigner is actually at the other extreme — it’s serious to a fault. - David Edelstein (Vulture)
In terms of overall visceral impact, The Foreigner is perhaps not as satisfying as a John Wick or the aforementioned Payback because it’s a more serious, complex movie. Nevertheless, it’s well-made, nicely paced and accomplishes what we expect from this sort of film. - ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Not much Chan martial arts wackiness, here, and the killer smile is nowhere to be seen - but he's as effective as he's ever been; each blow (and there ARE quite a bit) counts, and you really care for him and his motivation. Brosnan is great as the suit with a shady past (and present?). Just a great thriller/actioner of the kind they don't really make anymore. - yatz
Not your typical Kung Fu flick but still an entertaining watch. - Reza Noorani (Times of India)
