Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan face off in trailer premiere for ‘The Foreigner’


Just to get the first question out of the way, Pierce Brosnan, known in many circles as 007 James Bond, and martial arts legend Jackie Chan do not spar in their upcoming film, The Foreigner.

“That did not come into the equation,” Irishman Brosnan, 64, admits. “I might have thrown a few Irish roundhouse (kicks) and probably would have been dealt with quite quickly.”

Instead, the two stars face off in a cat-and-mouse conflict that drives the action thriller (in theaters Oct. 13), which unveils its first trailer exclusively at usatoday.com.

"Campbell keeps the action cooking and the suspense on a high burner in this compulsively watchable conspiracy thriller forever…Based on Stephen Leather’s novel The Chinaman, the film – with a tight script by David Marconi – doesn’t waste time with niceties. Quan tries to bribe a London police investigator (Ray Fearon); failing that, he pleads his case to former IRA deputy minister Liam Hennessy (Pierce Brosnan, bringing real star power to the role), who seems unwilling or unable to help him." - Rolling Stone
