A dizzying mix of plot twists and noisy shootouts, but the real attraction here is the undeniable onscreen charisma of Hong Kong star Yun-Fat.

Reviews for The Corruptor
It surprises by taking us inside Chinatown, where we discover just how sinister and elaborate the relationships between the police and the businessmen can be.
The Corruptor is as close as Hollywood's going to get to copying Hong Kong action style!
James Foley directs with lean, mean stylishness and the charismatic Yun-Fat finally gets a Hollywood vehicle worthy of his talents.
Despite a few unlikely plot developments, "The Corruptor" is compelling from start to finish
