The Corruptor

Not Bad...

Comparisons with The Replacement Killers are inevitable but if you’re a Chow Yun Fat or a Mark Wahlberg's fan then you'll probably want to see this movie.

Danny Wallace, played by Mark Wahlberg, is transferred to the Fifteen Precinct in Chinatown NY as part of a very secret internal affairs investigation. At first he is rejected for being the white rookie cop who is an outsider with no knowledge of Chinese customs or culture but then a street smart, jaded Chinese undercover agent Nick Chen (Chow Yun-Fat) takes him under his wing and together they go after some vicious Chinese Kingpins whose trade is human trafficking, prostitution and gambling. The plot twists are plentiful and Chow Yun-Fat and Wahlberg are both superb in their roles and easily transcend the buddy cop formula for which the movie seems to strive. There are numerous gunfights and a rollicking shootout car chase that I loved….I had so much fun watching the youthful Marky Mark.
