I thought to see Gu Long actually saw Jin Yong~

It's good-looking, a masterpiece of the genre, basically no urine spots, the script is solid, the plot is rich, and the actors are in place! The story level is flipped and the rhythm is properly controlled, and the foreshadowing is interlocking from beginning to end - although I thought it would be a "shuangwen" when I watched the trailer, in fact it is a "plot essay", the director used Jackie Chan and his kung fu To be very restrained and just right.

Haha, I suddenly thought of a metaphor: I thought to see Gu Long and actually saw Jin Yong~

(In addition, I was really scared of that kind of indiscriminate terrorist attack...)

    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.
