After the zodiac signs, I finally watched another Jackie Chan movie

After the zodiac sign, Jackie Chan was injured. What kind of shit was this filming? I didn't expect the latter one to be inferior to the other...

However, the review of this film is good. I found it on iQiyi to watch it. It is indeed possible. It is not an exaggeration to say that Jackie Chan is the only movie worth watching in recent years.

The British duel, the name is really bad, but if it is literally translated into a foreigner, I am afraid that no one will read it. But the name "Outlander" is indeed very quintessential. Chinese and Irish are indeed foreigners to Britain. On the contrary, the name of the British duel makes the main scene seem to be in London.

The protagonist's background is quite fascinating. A Chinese born in Guangxi, China, with a Vietnamese name, served in the US special forces, and his wife and daughter died at the hands of Thai pirates while smuggling? I don't know how it was explained in the original novel.

Let's not talk about action scenes and the like, just complain, your physical strength and resilience, 61 years old? I believe it, how about you?

    The translation ruined the film series. A Northern Irishman who lost his homeland and an Englishman who has always been called a Chinaman by everyone. This is not the story of the "British Showdown" that avenged his daughter, but the story of two "Foreigners" who lost their nationality and identity.

    The atmosphere of political horror is well created and can be used as a model for co-productions. Unlike the traditional Jackie Chan movies, but with Jackie Chan's signature martial arts design of "sourced locally". Irish English is so terrible, I got goose bumps...

The Foreigner quotes

  • Liam Hennessy: You killed my dog.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Dog's fine. Just sleeping.

  • Quan Ngoc Minh: [opens coat] I'm wearing a bomb. Anyone comes in, I touch it one, then we die. Now, give me the names.

    Liam Hennessy: They claim to be IRA, but I don't know who they really are. I'm doin' everything I can to find out who's responsible.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [puts gun to Hennessy's head] You're lying! Who killed my daughter?

    Liam Hennessy: I'm sorry! I truly don't know yet!

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [pause] The explosive the bombers use, it's Semtex-H?

    Liam Hennessy: [nervous] Yes. Yes. You know about Semtex?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: I know Semtex-H. During the war Czechs make for the army. Good for bombs and traps.

    Liam Hennessy: In Vietnam?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Yes. Many American people died by Semtex-H. Now, IRA use to kill my daughter. That's ironic.

    Liam Hennessy: I've read your history. We both know about war. We've both tried to put it behind us. You and me, we're alike.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [backhands Hennessy in the face] We are NOTHING alike. You're NOTHING! You kill women and children! NAMES!

    Liam Hennessy: To Almighty God, I don't know!

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [cocks the gun]

    Liam Hennessy: WAIT! Wait! I've set a trap for them when they use the next bomb. When they claim responsibility for the next bombing, they'll use a code word, telling the police they're IRA. I've changed that code word. So when they use it, I'll know.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [lowers the gun] You have one day.

    Liam Hennessy: ...what if they don't set off a bomb by then?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Twenty-four hours.

    [leaves]

    Liam Hennessy: ...Jesus. Oh, Jesus, sweet Jesus.
