You probably can't blame Chow for The Corruptor. No way he could outmaneuver the director and the writers. The only thing in The Corruptor more catastrophic than the car chases is the script.

Reviews for The Corruptor
The Corruptor is as close as Hollywood's going to get to copying Hong Kong action style!
The Corruptor, despite good actors and a richly waxed enamel of style, is corrupt. The worm of old cliché twists in the dirty story.
Half-hearted dishonesty, which the film barely attempts to conceal, turns out to be The Corruptor's true corruption.
It boggles the mind why New Line actually had the nerve to waste millions of dollars on a piece of wretched trash like this.
James Foley directs with lean, mean stylishness and the charismatic Yun-Fat finally gets a Hollywood vehicle worthy of his talents.
