The Foreigner
Never push a good man too far.
Directed by Martin Campbell
Produced by Sparkle Roll Media, STXfilms
A dark, tense revenge thriller driven by a grieving father's relentless pursuit of his daughter's killers, blending martial arts action with political intrigue and moral ambiguity.
Quan is a humble London businessman whose long-buried past erupts in a revenge-fueled vendetta when the only person left for him to love – his teenage daughter – dies in an Irish Republican Army car bombing. His relentless search to find the terrorists leads to a cat-and-mouse conflict with a British government official whose own past may hold the clues to the identities of the elusive killers.
