Storia
In 'Foreigner', a freelance agent, known only as The Foreigner, is tasked with transporting a mysterious package from France to Germany. Upon arrival in Warsaw, he finds himself pursued by various factions who covet the contents of his parcel. As he fights off assassins and evades capture, The Foreigner begins to unravel the true nature of his cargo: it contains information that could dismantle the Russian mafia's operations in Europe. Along the way, he forms an unlikely alliance with a local woman named Anna, who helps him navigate the treacherous landscape while seeking revenge against the bratva for murdering her brother. Together, they race against time to deliver the package safely and expose the terrorists behind its deadly contents.
Riassunto
'Foreigner' is a high-octane action thriller directed by Michael Oblowitz, released in 2003. Starring Steven Seagal as The Foreigner, the film follows this secret agent's mission to transport a dangerous package across Europe while being hunted by various adversaries. Shot mostly in Poland, it offers a gritty and realistic backdrop for its intense chase sequences, fistfights, and martial arts showdowns. While specifics about the plot are scarce, the movie's themes revolve around revenge, betrayal, and the power of information. As a typical Steven Seagal vehicle, 'Foreigner' delivers what audiences expect from an action hero: one-man-army fights, clever escapes, and relentless pursuit.
