Story Synopsis:
Hong Kong sensation Chow Yun-Fat stars in The Corruptor as Nick Chen, a New York Police Department officer assigned to the Asian Gang Unit that is seeking to stop the escalating gang war for control of the streets. Caucasian cop Danny Wallace (Wahlberg) is also assigned to the unit, but trouble arises when Danny questions the relationship Chen has with the Triads—the current rulers of Chinatown. Carter Burwell’s music sets an unusual mystical backdrop for the violent confrontations on screen.
