Trailer Time: The Foreigner


CLICK THIS LINK TO SEE THE TRAILER ON YOUTUBE.COM

I am a huge fan of Jackie Chan, but I have to admit I haven't been the biggest fan of his films.  The silly tone was always a bit of a let-down for me.  But the skill that he has brought to the action genre is unparalleled.

As he has gotten older, I kept expecting him to retire.  But this film looks like a fantastic choice.

First of all, it is directed by Martin Freeman who directed two of my favorite James Bond films: Goldeneye and Casino Royale.  So we know that he can do action very well based on the opening scenes from both films.

And the performance I see Chan do in the trailer is great.  He has a silent, sad, stoicism that is heartbreaking.

Finally, the action looks as good as ever.  It looks like Chan is bringing all of his physicality and new level of drama.

I can't wait to see this film.

Thoughts?
