San Francisco Chronicle
The Corruptor' quickly turns into a good bad-cop drama of fascinating moral complexity.
75
TV Guide Magazine
It aspires to greater moral ambiguity than the average crime thriller, and if it doesn't entirely succeed it nevertheless avoids the lazy moral bankruptcy of movies like "Lethal Weapon 4."

Washington Post
If you're in the mood for loud, fast-moving action trash, The Corruptor is waiting to meet you in a dark alley.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The Corruptor is visually lively and filled with gratuitous destruction. [12 Mar 1999]

Portland Oregonian
Foley is an actors' directors stuck here with a genre piece, and it shows: The action (save a killer car chase) is clumsily staged. Still, the story about corrupt police in New York's Chinatown has occasional moments of depth. [12 Mar 1999]

Rolling Stone
What you get in this cop drama is NYPD Blue lite. That's not bad. In fact, it's compulsively watchable. But there are no leaps, just fits and starts.

Village Voice
That in such a miserable film I could still care whether his character lived or died is, perhaps, the greatest proof that Chow Yun Fat's a movie star.

If you have a secret, he knows it. If you have a weakness, he exploits it. If you have anything good in you, he destroys it...
