Jackie Chan’s Action-Packed Thriller The Foreigner Is Now Streaming on Paramount+

by

John Wick is a popular action movie where Keanu Reeves plays a famous retired assassin who returns to the world of violence after his dog is killed. The 2017 film The Foreigner shares a similar theme, with Jackie Chan portraying Quan Ngoc Minh, a Vietnam War veteran and ex-special forces soldier, seeking revenge for his daughter’s death.

If you enjoy action thrillers, especially those starring Jackie Chan, you’ll be happy to hear his 2017 film, The Foreigner, is now available for streaming. This movie is a collaboration between the U.K., China, and the United States, and boasts a strong supporting cast alongside Chan.

Liam Hennessy is the deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland and a political advisor for Sinn Féin. He previously led the Provisional Irish Republican Army. Quan Ngoc Minh is seeking answers about his daughter’s death and asks Hennessy for assistance in tracking down those responsible for the bombing.

I’m really excited about this new film! Orla Brady, who I loved in Star Trek: Picard, is playing Liam Hennessy’s wife, Mary. And Dermot Crowley, from Luther, is playing Hugh McGrath – he’s Hennessy’s old commander from the Irish Republican Army. Plus, I recognize Golda Rosheuvel from Bridgerton Season 4; she’s playing Quan Ngoc Minh’s daughter, Fan. The cast is fantastic overall, with Michael McElhatton, Liu Tao, Charlie Murph, and Ray Fearon all involved too.

Martin Campbell, known for directing action and thriller films like Vertical Limit and The Mask of Zorro, directed The Foreigner. The film stars Jackie Chan as a London restaurant owner who journeys to Belfast seeking answers about the death of his daughter.
