http://urllio.com/r283gA New York police officer goes undercover in a dangerous crime scene to investigate abductions and drug-trafficking operations. He obtains backup with the help of another brave Hong Kong police officer who works for the NYPD. They partner up together to stop the operation before the city goes down. The criminal organization is called the "Fukanese Dragons" who are likely terrorists and illegal immigrants who are about to tear up Chinatown in New York City.
With the aid from a New York City policeman, a top immigrant cop tries to stop drug-trafficking and corruption by immigrant Chinese Triads, but things get complicated when the Triads try to bribe the policeman.
Another great Foley film, the first decent US effort for Chow-Yun Fat. An action film for those with half a brain. Wahlberg is restrained, perfect for the role. Infinitely better than the tiresome and ridiculous shoot-em-up "Replacement Killers".
I have to confess that I rented this movie to see Mark Wahlberg -- don't get me wrong, not because of anything he did in his "Marky Mark"/Calvin Klein days, but because I thought his performance as "Dirk Diggler" in "Boogie Nights" was truly superb and I wanted to see the other work he had done as an actor. Anyway, "The Corruptor" was a real disappointment, and not just because Wahlberg, playing naive or maybe not-so-naive rookie Danny Wallace, looked like he was on tranquilizers much of the time.<br/><br/>The problem is with the movie itself. It tries to be a shoot'em up, over-the-top action flick AND a gritty drama exploring issues of police ethics, corruption and conflicted loyalties, all at the same time. Well, sometimes mixing two different genres can work really well. In this case, it does not. The action sequences weren't particularly well-made and detracted from any attempt to develop the serious side of the story -- even if some of the scenes between Chow Yun Fat as morally shady cop Nick Chen and Wahlberg as idealistic rookie Danny Wallace were good. (If you want to see an excellent film that deals with many of the same issues "The Corruptor" ineptly tries to tackle, do yourself a favor and rent "LA Confidential.")<br/><br/>Chow-Yun Fat has real star quality and charisma, but he deserves a better screenplay and better direction. So does Wahlberg, who CAN act despite some people's comments on IMDB. (In fact, there were a few scenes in "The Corruptor" where he showed flashes of his ability to convey a complex range of emotions -- e.g., the scene where Danny teases Nick about how he loves him, or where he finds his dad injured on the floor, or that brief moment when the little Chinese boy touches his hand.) Oh and what's with all the gratuitous shots of his chest and rear? It's not that I don't appreciate the view <grin>, but this is precisely the kind of thing he ought to avoid if he wants to solidify his reputation as a real actor. (Which he fortunately did in "Three Kings.")<br/><br/>Basically, this movie is a waste of the talent of two fine actors ... and of your time and money.
The Corruptor' quickly turns into a good bad-cop drama of fascinating moral complexity.
