When I watched this I started out feeling like she was a Mary Sue of sorts, being able to parry blows from behind and being more or less untouchable by trained soldiers. One moment really stood out to me where an armed soldier, someone who by any right would be wielding a sword, started grappling with her, an unarmored opponent who was busy fighting another soldier. By every right she would have been stabbed.
So to put it short, the episode opens really horribly and I wassure I would not want to watch anymore of it, but the more time passed I stopped thinking "SW:TLJ" and started thinking "This really reminds me of Xena the Warrior Princess" with a strong fantasy heroine with an elf-like descent (sadly she seems to have been given some sort of Macguffin which summons demons(?) when she needs help). The storyline seems straight forward, a group of seven slew her entire village including her mother and brother and now she is out to get revenge in this fantasy land of knights and parasite-zombies.
However I hope the season gets better because this one was full of stupid things, like a hastily viewed tattoo becomes the hunt for 13 years, her love-interest steps in between her and a troll, despite she being able to one-hit-kill everything, and dies for no reason, the previously noted grapple scene, but she does not feel like a Mary Sue, it just feels like a typical Heroic Knight saving Kickass princess on a Revenge story sort of deal with a bit too much wasted time on a random character (might be a reason for it later).
The reasons I want to see more is because she does start out as a warrior who has more skills than plotarmor (FOR THE MOST PART) and the moment she faces an enemy she has never seen before she is brought to the brink of dying.
I give it a 5 because I like the idea of a new Xena, but the writing needs to pick up, because it is not very good. I would however strongly recommend it for anyone who wants to show this to their kids of 10 years and up, it doesn't show much gore and the blood that is seen is black so it doesn't look too bad. People die in a sort of obvious but fine manner for the most part, even if unrealistic.

This movie did everything I expected of it and even more. As someone who grew up with Jackie Chan I enjoyed watching him play a role where he became a mix of Rambo and Walter White and throwing in a serious Chan I have never seen yet.
Playing a former special forces soldier in England Jackie Chans last family member, his daughter, is caught in a new IRA bombing and dies from it. It sounds very typical so far, doesn't it? It is set up to be the typical lone wolf soldier where you follow him throughout most of the movie, but Chan takes a backseat and is more the reason for things going along.
The second main character played by Pierce Brosnan is a former IRA member and a politician who has worked his entire life to prevent things from ever going back to the bloody old days, and with this new bombing he has a lot on his plate since everything is pointing at him or his old friends.
A lot of the movie is played out following Brosnans character, his family and his colleagues how they try to track down this new IRA group at the beheast of the brittish government while having the Brittish police hounding after him, and unlike most movies like this, they are not useless, they actually fulfill a purpose. Brosnans character finds himself with an asian Rambo on one hand and a plot similar to Sons of Anarchy (Including the irish! Hah!) he has a lot to deal with and little time to do so.
The casting is great, the acting is incredible, and even if Jackie Chan is no longer young, and you really feel it in the acting, he is still great at what he does. The martial arts are kept to a minimum in the movie however, but you can still tell it is him. I was only able to find a single plothole at first watching, and it was rather minor and it is actually not really connected in any way to rile up Brosnans character even more so I could see that scene cut out entirely or given more time to breathe before coming to a conclusion.
I think The Foreigner is a great movie and I am more than happy to see a couple of familiar faces, and I hope it will not be the last time.
