In Martin Campbells new film we dont have to wait long to get that plot engine up and running.
A rogue cell of IRA radicals soon claims the attack.
Quan soon becomes convinced that Liam is responsible for his daughters death.
Their dynamic is a fascinating one, and it gives multiple meanings to the films title.
But as an Irishman, Liam is a foreigner in Britain too.
Both have been trapped in the vicious cycle of imperialist violence and tried to fight against their oppressors.
They thought they could put the guns down and live a peaceful life for their familys sake.
The films major downside is that the brunt of this resurgent violence falls on female characters.
The brutality is a bit hard to take, especially consideringthe recent news cycle.
At least Chan continues to have a great 2017.
