“The Foreigner” (** out of four) was a murky conspiracy thriller about a former military official (Jackie Chan) whose daughter is murdered in a terrorist explosion and he subsequently goes to Ireland to uncover the truth and solve her murder and enters into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a corrupt government official (Pierce Brosnan). Tired story of revenge and political intrigue from director Martin Campbell who has covered this ground before; features surprisingly little of Chan’s action acrobatics and Brosnan’s Irish accent is a tad overbaked. Strong electronic score by Cliff Martinez.
