Gary Talks Physical Media: Toy Robot's 4K Release of The Corruptor
CHOW YUN-FAT. MARK WAHLBERG. CORRUPTION. GUNFIGHTS. AND A WHOLE LOT OF TROUBLE IN CHINATOWN!
This time on Gary Talks Physical Media, we're heading into the dangerous streets of New York City's Chinatown for THE CORRUPTOR (1999), the gritty action crime thriller starring legendary Hong Kong action star Chow Yun-Fat and Mark Wahlberg, directed by James Foley (Glengarry Glen Ross, Fear).
And thanks to Toy Robot Video, this late-'90s crime thriller is getting a brand-new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release!
Chow Yun-Fat stars as Nick Chen, a decorated NYPD detective working Chinatown's notoriously corrupt streets. When idealistic rookie cop Danny Wallace (Mark Wahlberg) joins his unit, the two find themselves navigating a dangerous world of organized crime, gang warfare, divided loyalties, and police corruption.
But in a world where everyone has something to hide, who can you really trust?
Released in 1999, The Corruptor arrived during Chow Yun-Fat's transition from Hong Kong action cinema to Hollywood. While it didn't become a major box office hit, the film has plenty to offer fans of gritty police thrillers, explosive action, and morally complicated characters.
