From the Toy Robot press release:
On
November 10, Hong Kong’s biggest ballistic superstar dominates New York City’s Chinatown when
The Corruptor receives its worldwide premiere on 4K UHD. The high-caliber buddy-cop film stars
Chow Yun-Fat (
The Killer, Hard Boiled) and
Mark Wahlberg (
Boogie Nights), with
James Foley (
Glengarry Glen Ross) directing. This Dual Format release features both a 4K UHD and Blu-ray disc, with the film presented on both discs in a new 4K restoration from the original camera negative, along with special features.
NYPD Lieutenant Nick Chen (
Chow Yun-Fat,
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) isn’t thrilled when rookie Detective Danny Wallace (
Mark Wahlberg,
The Departed) is assigned to his Asian Gang Unit. Chen needs someone who doesn’t look like a tourist or a cop, but he’s stuck with Wallace because he needs the manpower. When the young Fukienese Dragons launch a shooting war against the established Tong mobsters in Chinatown, Chen seems less concerned with justice than preserving the balance of underworld power. Is Chen a corrupt cop? Can Wallace resist being compromised when a local business leader wants to thank him for his service? The film also stars
Brian Cox (
Succession),
Paul Ben-Victor (
The Wire),
Byron Mann (
The Man with the Iron Fists) and
Kim Chan (
The Fifth Element).
Special features include interviews with composer
Carter Burwell, production designer
David Brisbin and action director
Robert Samuels, an archival audio commentary with director
James Foley,
From the (Under)Ground Up, an archival featurette on the making of
The Corruptor, the UGK “Take It Off” music video, the theatrical trailer, and TV spots.
