DVD Brief: The Corruptor |
|
Description: Moody, convoluted actioner set in New York's Chinatown pitting bad cops against nasty villains. Feeble attempt at mimicking Hong Kong action flicks, with Mark Wahlberg all too bland and Chow Yun-Fat wasted. There's plenty of fast and furious action -- albeit so stereotypical that it all kind of blends together in an amorphous mass that's unmemorable after the film is over. Add to that characters who are papier-mache dragons, and the film becomes an uninvolving -- and unsatisfying -- mess. For fans of this genre its a let-down, but if you like the stars and slam-bang action, it may be worth a look. Image: As with most New Line transfers, the image is clean and solid. Sound: Loud and involving. All DVDs are screened on a reference Onkyo DV- S717 third-generation DVD player.
