Ratings and reviews

"The Corrupted" is a dark, gritty and violent crime drama, set in the London underworld. A recently-released ex-con tries to stay straight, while dealing with his younger brother's mob ties and pervasive police corruption. Featuring solid acting and a realistic setting, this film kept my attention, throughout. Fans of neo-noir films such as "Kiss of Death" will appreciate this one. Don't expect much of a happy ending -- this is too dark a world for that.

Plenty of twists and corruption.

Intence powerful performance
