Summary: This movie rocks!
Review: I am a big Chow Yun Fat fan. I think he is great. I was apprehensive about seeing this movie because Mark Wahlberg was in it. The last movie I saw him in was "Boogie Nights" and I thought that movie was terrible. I was suprised. This movie was well written. The action is great and you didn't know what was going to happen next. Chow Yun Fat, besides being good at the action, can really act. Mark Wahlberg redeemed himself in my eyes and showed that he has the stuff of a good actor. The story is the best part of the movie. It was good!

Summary: Not Hong Kong action...
Review: I expected this to be an action packed killing spree, with superb Hong Kong style cinematography and an okay plot. Instead, what I received was a very good story with average cinematography and hardly any Hong Kong killings!The key to this movie is the relationship between the two leads, and this comes across rather well, despite the aprehension of Marky Mark being in there. He does himself proud, but C-Y Fat drops a peg or two on the action ladder. The film is not your average shoot-em-up, nor is it your average thriller. It fails on both counts, think Internal Affairs meets Showdown in Little Tokyo, without the best bits of either. Though I'd like to give it more, it failed to capture the imagination, and countering that, it failed to provide enough bullets for a Terminator 2 type rating. Avoid it if you want Hong Kong action, buy it if you like the actors and want to relax with a passable plot, backed up by a weak cast.

Summary: Wahlberg and Yun-Fat at their best
Review: I have been a fan of Mark Wahlberg since Fear. Although he usually plays a similar character, he always treats us with a combination of innocence and violence. Although Boogie Nights was his breakthough film, I think his performance in The Corruptor raises his respectability as an actor to a new level. In fact he's so rooted in acting now that it's hard to imagine him as Marky Mark rapping about Sunkist in his video "Good Vibrations". But even then there was something street level and real about him that completely eclipsed his brother Donny from New Kids on the Block. Chow Yun-Fat also has grown since The Replacement Killers, filling out a broader range of emotions onscreen. He's still a bit stiff, but he's getting there. The story itself is old school buddy cop territory, with another tried and true twist towards the end. These two manage to make it seem fresh again however.

Summary: Actually a sweet movie with Chow and Marky Mark
Review: I like things to do with japanese, and chinese stuff, espeacially movies, I like Black Rain, Blade Runner cop movies, having to do with the chinese mob, and this movie was sweet. Great action, and a good story of what seems to be a corrupt cop with a white internal affairs officer in Cinatown of New York. They are up against some mean azz chinese guys. Lots of cool violence, and a cool car chase make this movie top on my action list, I am getting a DVD player this christmas, and since I own most of my favs. on VHS, this movie will be one of the first on my DVD list.

Summary: If all bad cops could be this good!
Review: I loved the confrantation that Danny Wallace had with his dad about the contemplation of what to do about turning in his partner Nick Chen .. I won't spoil the quote you have to take it in context of the scenario of the movie. What an impact it made in my life that what I do in my life will be what I live with. I don't know if I over looked the goings on with Nick Chen because after all he was Yun-Fat Chow or that his over looking Uncle Benny's activities was some how a kindness to help May a lost drug addict and prostitute unable to escape her fate he tries to be more then a cop in her heart. The entire movie was tastefully done, story line excellant, directed in a way to make you laugh, cry, sit at the edge of you chair during those action scenes. Not to mention the sound track subpurbly done. I have had always found Yun-Fat Chow a believable actor in all rolls he portray; this movie he stole my heart (more then in Anna and the King).. the ending must be seen to appreciate how to me he was a good cop, with admiration to the writer in whatever message he wanted to leave you at the end. If you thought Mark Wahlberg was exceptional in this roll you should see him in The Perfect Storm and never thought he would play such a sicko in Fear but had me convinced. Lady's don't judge all men by what goes on in this movie but be wise to it's message of common sense. It always amazes me when an actor can play his/her complete opposite. I look forward to watching more of both of these great actors movies. Don't wait to buy THE CORRUPTOR should it go out of print you will regret it! Well I think so. Thanks for listening - Bye. Would welcome your comments too.

Summary: One of the better cop dramas out there
Review: I loved this movie. Way better than the overblown and much-hyped Training Day, this movie has extreme subtlety and plays its hand well. Chow Yun Fat is perfect as a corrupt cop rotting in the hell of his own making, whereas Wahlberg plays the rookie facing the small temptations that lead widely astray...

Summary: Just shooting and shooting and shoo-... BORING!
Review: I only watched the beginning because it was so bad. It had so much bad language and it was just shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting! Let me guess what happened after the lamp store shootout. MORE SHOOTING! This is so absurd. It just focuses on action scenes and not the plot. A very boring action movie. Chow Yun-Fat is the worst actor. Tell OJ Simpson to see this movie or something.

Summary: The Corruptor
Review: I saw the film at the cinema but could not remember it, however, once I saw it again on DVD it all came flooding back. I am a great fan of action movies and this is a one of the best, the relationship between Chow and Mark works well, especially Chow's feeling toward Mark being an outsider in a world of the chinese. A very moving ending even though sad had to happen!!!

Summary: What's It All About, Mr. Fat?
Review: I tried hard to understand this film until I finally understood: it is incomprehensible, a mishmash. No one figured out where the film was going or what it was about. They just filmed it. Sime nice colors, some fair (for HK movies) action sequences, nice camera angles. And talk like you're overhearing a bunch of random telephone conversations. A dish of Chinese noodles is far more coherent than the strands of this movie. And yet, we should encourage these Hong Kong types to make more movies in the US. They do bring a nice perspective. So far, it seems that the lavish Hollywood budgets have corrupted these movies. The high budget certainly seems to have corrupted THE CORRUPTOR. We have to get back to basics, i.e., a good screenplay. Once you have that, bring in the Hong Kong stars and directors. Bring in Chingmy Yau, while you're at it. Bottom line: (and I hate to say this on Amazon) you'd be better off renting this movie than buying it.
