Since I love Steven Seagal movies, I bought the Foreigner on DVD as soon as it was available. What a terrible movie! I thought nothing could be worse than The Patriot, and I am not ashamed to say that I even enjoyed his last direct-to-video foray, Ticker. But The Foreigner sinks to a whole new level. While some of Seagal's films belong on the lowest shelves of the video store, this one belongs nowhere but the garbage can.
OK, enough negativity. I will be positive and list the things I enjoyed about the movie:
-Seagal has a job.
-Seagal looks great for a 50+ year old.
-Seagal is still on top of his game when it comes to martial arts action (was this ever in doubt?).
-It is funny to watch a movie with a plot that makes even less sense than On Deadly Ground.
-Jon Cold is a fantastic name, right up there with Mason Storm, Jack Cole, and Gino Fellino.
-I have to admit, it was freakishly cool to see those two guys with their tongues cut out.
However, it is impossible not to see past these few good qualities for what The Foreigner really is- an hour and a half of boring, nonsensical plot with bad acting and subpar action sequences.
I'm a big Seagal fan, but even I can't stomach The Foreigner.
