    Rewatch of Varsity Blues rest in peace to James Van Dee Beek. My first time watches of The Corruptor, Marriage Story and Crime 101 that I saw at the show yesterday which is a great heist film. What a good helluva week #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

    There’s a lot by James Foley I haven’t seen, but I respect that in THE CORRUPTOR he treats Chow Yun Fat like the great actor he is, which distinguishes the movie from a lot of other HK crossover attempts.

    The Corruptor is not the best English language film Chow Yun-Fat was in. But it is his best English language performance. It’s also the only movie he made over here that realized his innate coolness was not just tied to action scenes. The films biggest issue is a young Mark Wahlberg is the lead &

    put on this movie The Corruptor where chow yun fat and mark wahlberg are partners. mark is the nerd rookie and gets put in the chinatown precinct where all the asian cops are constantly owning him. this must've been a condition of his sentencing.

    RIP James Foley, the director of the underrated 90s action-crime joint THE CORRUPTOR. GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS wasn't too bad either, and I love CONFIDENCE. I do wish he didn't end with two FIFTY SHADES films. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

    #ICYMI The Boys did a little catching up alongside returning guest Pete Volk. We run the gamut this episode talking about 90’s movie soundtracks with THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS & THE CORRUPTOR, hero movie fashion & BULLITT, as well as Korean spy craft with HUMINT. Check it out.

    Might I suggest The Corruptor should be tariff free? Solid movie.

    Rest in peace, James Foley, director of At Close Range, Glengarry Glen Ross, and for us Hong Kong film fans, the man who directed Chow Yun-fat in one of his better American outings, The Corruptor.

    Not a great movie, but I like that THE CORRUPTOR treats him like a real actor. Makes it stand out compared to the majority of HK star Hollywood crossover attempts.

    What is the better Chow Yun-Fat film; The Corruptor or The Replacement Killers?

    Everyone, name some of your favorite B, C, or D tier movies dumped into January-April back when. "The Corruptor" (1999) comes to mind. I enjoy that movie. "Ravenous" (1999). "Deep Rising" (1998). "Virus" (1999).

    Not my favorite James Foley movie, but good lord he and Juan Ruiz Anchía shot the hell out of THE CORRUPTOR and it looks so good.

    While REPLACEMENT KILLERS, KNOCK OFF and THE BIG HIT represented one type of Hong Kong films THE CORRUPTOR represented the nasty crime films that had a real mean streak. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfIb...

    Have you seen The Corruptor? It’s not a great movie but heavily takes influence from Year of the Dragon. Chow Yun Fat plays a pretty complex character and gets to actually act (unlike the generic stoic roles other HK stars were forced into in their American movies).
