Synopsis

The Corruptor (1999) is a crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by James Foley, the film is set in New York's Chinatown — a neighborhood where the line between law enforcement and organized crime has all but disappeared. Chow Yun-Fat plays Lieutenant Nick Chen, a decorated cop with deep ties to the Triad who has been holding the district together his way for years. Mark Wahlberg is Danny Wallace, a rookie partner still operating on the assumption that rules exist.

A gang war between two rival factions pushes both men to the edge. Nick manages the situation through favors, fear and old alliances. Danny follows his lead — until he can't anymore. Brian Cox appears as Danny's father, adding another knot to a story already short on clean choices.

Gritty and unsparing, the film refuses to hand anyone an easy exit. Watch The Corruptor (1999) online on iFILM — a late-'90s noir about the cost of looking the other way.
