Just saw "The Foreigner." My thoughts. No spoilers.

It is extremely different from Chan's usual fare. He himself said, "I just wanted to do something different."

Martin Campbell directed and he also did Casino Royale, so you can expect some visceral fight scenes, quick, dirty, and to the point.

Chan commands the screen in every scene he's in, but this is not an action/comedy, unless you think the word "fuck" is funny sounding in an Irish accent (I do). This is a solid action/crime drama, gritty and shockingly brutal. you can think of it as "The Dark Knight" of Jackie Chan movies.

You know how he never seems to kill anyone in his martial arts films? Well the martial arts kind of takes a backseat in many action scenes. He certainly shows his moves. He's still got it. But he actually fucking kills people in this one.

I give it a solid 3 out of 4 stars. Definitely worth your time.
