Between “Rush Hour” and the James Bond films, Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan became two of the biggest action stars of the ’90s. Now they are going head-to-head in STX’s revenge thriller “The Foreigner,” which got its first trailer on Monday.
Based on Stephen Leather’s novel “The Chinaman,” Chan stars as Quan, a humble businessman and single father who emigrated to London from Vietnam. One day, his peaceful life is shattered when his daughter is killed in a terrorist bombing. With nothing left in his life, he finds a British government official named Hennessey (Brosnan) and demands he reveal the names of the bombers.
