Hmm..I preordered this movie for $12 blindly without seeing it...so far I read a thumbs down review...is it really that crappy for $12? Anyone preordered it?

I also pre-ordered it without having seen it first. I've read several reviews on it and it's been about 50/50.

Personally, I love Chow-Yun Fat movies and you can't go wrong with a Platinum Series from New Line. Also, for the price, it's hard to resist.

There was another thread here a few weeks ago on "The Corruptor" . . . if I find it, I'll bump it up to the top for you pal.

Here's the thread just in case you haven't seen it yet . . .

I agree with Needlz. Chow Yun-Fat movies are excellent. Course I dunno about that new version of Anna And The King that's coming out. Love story with Yun-Fat and Jodie Foster - NO THANKS!

Oh and yes I preordered the DVD!

There's a review of the disc up at www.lightviews.com/dvddish.htm . Sounds like a great disc.

Thanks for the link! I feel better now that I preordered it.

I preordered the Corruptor as well. I used part of a $50 amazon gift certificate, so I essentially got it for free. I don't know how much I'd pay for it though had I not had the certificate. I saw it in the theater and thought it was "pretty good." It's fairly well-done, but formulaic and not particularly original or anything. Some exciting action sequences, better-than-average action-movie acting, and the sound is terrific (1 reason to get it on DVD)It's much better than the Replacement Killers, Chow Yun Fat's previous American effort.

Bottom line: you're not wasting your money, cuz it's a decent flick, but not something you NEED to have in your library.

Not only that..but this New Line Cinema disc is loaded..the transfer is also awesome I heard according to dvdreviews.com!

It looks like we got a winner . . . a New Line Platinum Series DVD for under $12 . . . retail prices???

Yeah . . . I'm not sure about that new one Chow Yun Fat is coming out with Jodie Foster. He should stick with his bread and butter, ACTION!!! Of cource, we could be wrong and the movie could be great . . . let's hope.
