The Corruptor (1999)

So much average

Just perfect...

A Disappointing Continuation

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

One of the first Mark Wahlberg action movies I've seen very good cast solid movie

This One is Criminally Underrated, Director James Foley and Crew Deliver a Barrage of Action and Characters that are Stunning. We Not Only Remember the Violent Outbursts of Stylistic Violence, the Characters Stick in the Mind As Well. Certainly Chow Yun-Fat, Giving One of His Patenting Performances with Mannerisms and Controlled Mania, the FBI Agent, Brian Cox's Mess of a Father, the Chinese Gang Members, and Yes, Mark Wahlberg at His Most Restrained.The Car Chase is Simply one of the Most Complex and Violent as You're Likely to See, Not Afraid to Kill Innocent Bystanders at a Blistering Pace, In Fact the Whole Sequence is Alarming.The Movie has Everything Action Fans Could Want and More. The Cinematography is Excellent and the Film is Filled with Things that are Uncomfortable and Unique. Overall, it is One of the Best from James Foley, Wahlberg, and Can Hold its Own with Fat's Hong Kong Films. Yes, John Woo's The Killer (1989) and Hard Boiled (1992) are Better, but This One is No Slouch.

The Corrupter is an amazing crime thriller that combines intense action and shocking twist that will have your jaw on the floor. The Corrupter stars Mark Wahlberg as Danny Wallace a rookie cop who works in the Asian Gang Unit, he works under and with Detective Lieutenant Nicholas Chen the head of the A.G.U. Wallace first case with Chen is to solve a bunch of brutal murders that are happening all over Chinatown, but as Wallace get's deeper and deeper into the case Wallace finds out something that bust the whole thing wide open. The Corrupter is one of those rare crime thrillers it keeps you guessing and thinking right up to the jaw dropping climax that will leave you breathe less. I highly recommended this amazing crime film. I hope my review helps~ C.R. Lopez.

Really intense action, entertaining! This movie shows some great action scenes, really intense sometimes, that makes you get deep attention to it, but this attention is primarily focused in most part of the movie trying to understand the why and where of all the events shown; in a good part of the film you see great actions scenes, but don't understand why are happening!. A great entertaining action films about one of the hardest challenges that a cop can face!ABOUT THE MOVIE: In this movie, about an Asian cop that works cases on Chinatown - New York (Nick Chen - Chow Yun Fat), and a White Cop that strictly followed the academy instructions that is suddenly assigned to that jurisdiction (Danny Wallace - Mark Wahlberg); Chen didn't liked this new partner. They are somewhat close to the mafia of Chinatown leaded by Henry Lee (Ric Young) and Benny Wong (Kim Chan); while working,some police of internal affairs follow Nick and Danny to find corrupt relationship between them and the mafia, this cop unit is leaded by Schabacker (Paul Ven-Victor). The main objective of Nick is to take down a gang of young boys that is very violent and is terrifying the neighborhood, the Fukiense Dragons leaded by Bobby Vu (Byron Mann), Chen and Danny manages to infiltrate to this band trough Jack (Jon Kit Lee), a boy new in the gang and whose girlfriend was protected in change of information. Trough the mission, Danny has to face the shadow of his father Sean Wallace, who was a corrupt police officer (Brian Cox). In this movie you can get involve in one of the most hard works that a police officer can have, in a difficult and violent place, with intense racism (against people different from Asian race), violent gangs, illegal immigrants, drugs, guns, great drug dealers and bosses, prostitution, killings, and of course, the cancer of our century - corruption.6/10
