The Foreigner is a 2003 direct-to-video movie starring Steven Seagal. It has been rated R by the MPAA.
[edit] Plot Summary
The film centers on Jim Cold (Seagal), a freelance agent hired to deliver a package from France to a wealthy man in Germany. While what he is actually delivering is uncertain, it nevertheless attracts a lot of attention from people who are determined to avoid getting this package delivered. Before going to Germany, Cold stops in Warsaw for his father's funeral, and then it is on to Germany, where he discovers that he is delivering a "black box" flight recorder from an aircraft that had drowned, and its beneficiary, businessman Jerome Van Aken, has a deep interest in it. Upon his arrival in Germany, Cold learns he is being pursued by several secret agents, bounty hunters, and even Van Aken's wife, who are all seeking the package.
This film was Seagal's second direct-to-video release (the first being The Patriot). It was originally intended to be released theatrically in the United States, but was changed to a DTV release when Seagal's last theatrical release, Half Past Dead, performed poorly both financially and with audiences. It did, however, receive a release theatrically in South Korea, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
[edit] Sequel
A sequel to The Foreigner, titled Black Dawn, was released in 2005. Seagal's character John Cold is the only character who returns from the original.
