Chan described the film’s process and the challenges he faced while at it.
“Every year, I try to do something different…(this) will give audiences a chance to see another side of Jackie Chan.”
On the other hand, equally promising Brosnan, was describe to have shown impeccable skills doing his character in the film.
“Hennessy is completely believable – he’s got a great charm at the beginning, but slowly he reveals
how much of a bad-ass he is.”
Viva Films and MVP Entertainment teamed up to bring to the Philippines a magical and brilliant masterpiece. Now Showing in cinemas nationwide, “The Foreigner” promises no idle moments and worthy watch.
