The Good & The Bad - Movies Watched In 2017 (472 movies items)"Jackie Chan's best movie in many years! JC plays Quan, a London Chinese restaurant owner whose daughter is killed in a bomb planted by Irish terrorists. He swears revenge and goes all out to find the terrorists who destroyed his family. This is such an exciting action drama and although JC shows his age here, he can still perform in top notch martial arts scenes. Pierce Brosnan is also brilliant as a suspicious NI politician whose past in the paramilitary comes back to haunt him. Director Mart"
Film Journal 2017 (162 movies items)"The Foreigner is written with such smarts and wit that it manages to pull off having essentially two heavy, concurrent storylines with Chan's revenge story and Brosnan's IRA-intrigue story. It's emotionally engaging and shot real smooth and clinical -like. It feels like a Michael Mann -film without the styliziation. Which is a surprisingly cool feeling."

Movies Watched in 2017 (72 movies items)"2017/10/14 @Celebration! Cinema Crossroads Theater 2, Row D, Seat 7 Via MoviePass The start was great, getting right through the buildup to start the the main plot of the movie. After that, it slows down a bit, with the most interesting elements happening after long breaks in between. Not terrible but not great. 7/10 "
