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. Nick Chen is one of New York City's most martial police officers and the first Chinese-born immigrant on the force. Chen's job is to keep the peace in Chinatown from a turf war that has broken out between the Triads and the ruthless, and dangerous Fukienese Dragons. Chen teams up with Danny Wallace, who is terribly unaware of this situation. When the Tongs boldly attempt to bribe Wallace, Chen is forced to keep his faithfulness. This is the great example of gunfights series movie, but sometimes too much does not mean great ! Leading actors are nothing much to mentioned, the screenplay is poor - seem like try to achieve level of complexity but failed. If you expect for dramatic, and romantic subplots - sure it has, but you have to be extremely sensitive. If you like action movies, this should not be missed ! And when you leave the<br/><br/>theater, try to think about this movie again when you are going to buy a ticket for the next action movie. The Corruptor tries very hard to be something it isn't. Neither Chow Yun Fat or Mark Wahlberg impresses when even the actor seems to think the movie is lame. You have to try very hard to not fall asleep on this one cause this movie ain´t worth to see… There's tenderness, humor, a gratuitous body double, and splashy lighting in this ho-hum action drama, which takes itself at times too seriously and at other times not seriously enough.
