This one gets a 5 but that is because they spent a lot of money going through the standard Hollywood motions with little else to show, and then threw in a few Hollywood cliches thinking that will make them a pile of money. Don't know exactly how this did at the box office but the movie industry only has to get you to buy a ticket, not watch the whole thing or like it, to make a pile of cash.
I have seen "American Assassin," and,"Le Femme Nikita" before. "The Foreigner," at least has the elderly Jackie Chan doing some decent stunt work/fight scenes. This one doesn't go out as silly and unreal as America Assassin, Blake Lively isn't sexy in this one like Bridgette Fonda in Le Femme Nikita, and Jude Law is no Jackie Chan when it comes to stunt work. If you are looking for Deadpool's sexy wife, kick ass action, or any above grade awesomeness you will be sadly disappointed.
The money was put in to pull together a five of a movie but it is still the same stupid story you have seen time and time again. Someone is hurt by terrorism/crime/broken heart etc, they are transformed into a superhero by the old sage and go on a deadly vendetta ride for personal justice. They then throw in the cliche of taking a beautiful actress and making her look unattractive, unless of course, she has to sex it up to get close to a villian she wants to kill.
If you want another algorythmed together movie formula where the writer and director have to do little work and the actors can just phone in their performances "The Rythmn Section," will wash away that hour and forty-eight minutes of your life. If you want to watch a decent movie, well, not so much. In the end this is a disapppointing film.
