MCT:February 4, 2008It actually surpassed my expectations. I thought that since it came in a double pack that it would suck but it really didn't Granted I dont think that Marc Wahlberg and Chow Yun Fat are going to team up again in the future.

MCT:January 20, 2008I baught Shoot 'Em Up, and The Corruptor came with it, so I still haven't seen it. I like Wahlberg so I'm sure I'll see it sometime soon.

With the aid from a NYC policeman, a top immigrant cop tries to stop drug-trafficking and corruption by immigrant Chinese Triads, but things complicate when the Triads try to bribe the policeman.

MCT:August 17, 2007Not as great as I hoped it would be. It was a bit of a disappointment. I enjoyed most of Mark Wahlberg's other films but this one just didn't live up to his reputation. Yun-Fat Chow did any alright job but nothing fantastic. The plot was a bit weak to be honest and the characters weren't that interesting.

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!!

Superb action-thriller about life as a cop in the violent and merciless underbelly of New York's Chinatown. Not up to the standard of Chow Yun-Fat HK films, but a creditable cop thriller.

Another of Chow Yun Fat's decent but unspectacular early forays into Hollywood, it has a nice gritty feel and an interesting culture clash backdrop. Not up to the standard of his HK films, but a creditable cop thriller.

It's like watching Chow Yun Fat lite! Several of Chow's classic moments from movies like Better Tomorrow, Hard Boiled, God of Gamblers recreated in a Hollywood version of a Hong Kong movie. Much more fun to watch the original HK films directed by John Woo.

Superb action-thriller about life as a cop in the violent and merciless underbelly of New York's Chinatown. Chow Yun-Fat and Mark Wahlberg are cool in the high-octane action blended with a thumping hip-hop soundtrack.

MCT:March 12, 2007I didn't really watch the whole movie, but I think if Mark Whalberg wasn't the character, I would have stopped watching the first minute.

O filme é legalzinho, porém pretensiosamente estilizado. Peca nos excessos, tanto de direção de arte quanto de fotografia. E nem é necessário comentar as atuações não é?
Wahlberg ainda estava muito cru nessa época, e viria a melhorar bastante. Chow cometeu um pequeno deslize nesse filme... -

This film isn't complicated nor is it dull. Action packed and plot driven this is one of the better NORTH AMERICAN "Honk Kong action films". The acting and chemistry between the two lead roles remind me of another odd couple (Reno/De Niro...Ronin) who tore the screens wide with their style. Dark, edgy and very much being it's own film I thought it showed alot of what is really said about people...Yellow fever...I guess you can't make everyone happy. And if you thought this was complicated theoneandonlytony don't see "The Departed" or should I say "Infernal Affairs" which happens to be the Asian Father film.

I found this to be a highly enjoyable 'East meets West' action-thriller. I totally dig Chow Yun-Fat and as you might expect he really dominates in this film.
-
MCT:October 9, 2006How shite!!! Exposing these fantastic Chinese actors to these crap american films is an insult to their talent!

MCT:October 1, 2006Kinda dull, really got the feeling that it was made up as it went along despite its confusing plot. For the majority of the movie I was sat there going... "ah right, now whats going on again" but when you get down to it... Yun Fat is a chinatown cop whos ways have been mixed up with the criminals to bring down the bigger criminals... therefore is a dirty cop. Wahlberg is a rookie but actually Internal Affairs, assigned to be Yun -Fat's partner. See the dilemma? Good chemistry between both actors, even though neither are really anything special in this. The movie spends a the majority of its time trying to build on character and succeeds towards the end, but by that time nothings happened. The movie has a lot of complex parts simply because the story changes so much, giving good insight into the character's lives but not really entertaining. Hardly any violence, hardly any action...Similar to Training Day but not as good. A movie for fans of either Wahlberg or Yun -Fat really.

MCT:August 28, 2006Of all the wannabe Hong Kong action films that came out in the 90's, this one is probably the best as well as most underrated. Perhaps it's because it's one of the only immitators that understands there was much more to Hong Kong cinema than stylistic gunplay that made it so provocative.
-
MCT:July 29, 2006This movie is edgy, smart and it has a lot of "hit in the face" action! If you liked Tranning Day you must check this movie out ! Another under rated movie that a lot of people havent heard from but should have !

Alright cop/gangster thriller with tones of loyalty and yin/yang - For Chow Yun and Marky Mark fans only.
