Review of The Corruptor (1999) by Rod S — 14 Aug 2007
Hats off to Chow Yun-Fat and Mark Wahlberg, whose sympathetic chemistry creates an authentic and deeply personal connection, a factor that proves crucial to the film's poignant, disturbing finale. Not your usual run of the mill US cop movie.
Nick Chen played by Chow Yun- Fat has NY Chinatown as his turf and has to be seen to throw in his lot with the dens of vice to establish what is really going down. He also has to take rookie Danny Wallace under his wing but Danny has a passion for all things Chinese including sexual.
Worth watching just to see Mr Wahlberg's body - especially iin the massage scene when he is laid buck naked on the massage table - nice arse Mark!!
