Powerless guardian, I failed

I give Jackie Chan five points, for the protection of the family, for the dedication.

My Tai Chi master once said that you must first have the awareness of action, and then be able to respond. The most difficult thing is to make a correct response, or an effective response. As an ordinary person, I have this awareness of protection. I can give everything for the people I love, but unfortunately I don't have this ability, especially now that my own condition is so poor. Guarding is not just as simple as being willing to give life. Life, sometimes, is often the most powerless kind of giving.

I failed them, a very simple sentence, but how much it contains, I also want to protect, I hope I will not have the time to say this, unfortunately, I also know that from the day I hope to protect, I have failed.

Maybe, but please get drunk. After I wake up, maybe I can keep going...

    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...

    A refreshing and tough anti-terrorist action movie, no comedy, very bloody, old-fashioned, very unreal. However, the two points of the unkillable little person and the endorsement of overseas Chinese are very Jackie Chan. After the fists and feet are not convincing, maybe the transformation of elderly action films can open up another world? I hope Jackie Chan can take this to open up a new way.

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.
