The Foreigner

Jackie Chan, Katie Leung and Rufus Jones star in The Foreigner, which is in theaters across the country this weekend.

The Foreigner is directed by Martin Campbell, who was also behind the camera to direct Pierce Brosnan in GoldenEye and Daniel Craig in Casino Royale and Antonio Banderas in The Mask of Zorro.

We’ll just go ahead and forget him directing a pre-Deadpool Ryan Reynolds in Green Lantern. 

No matter what Chan and company make on U.S. soil with this film, it will still be a financial success. The film got an early release in China late last month in China and sits at $74 million in receipts as of this writing.
