The Corrupted (2019)
5/10
Not great, not bad!
14 February 2021
I wanted to see the movie only because I also participated, I can be seen - if you have sharp eyes - only for 2 seconds, after the 32nd minute, I'm The Bell Man, near the ring, at the boxing match, with glasses, white shirt and black bow tie. I didn't expect the movie to be so good. It is not a masterpiece, it has many clichés and deja-vu, like many British films of recent years, but it also has some very intense and dramatic scenes. Timothy Spall manages to make a character so unbearable that you want to kill him. David Hayman, who plays the cop corrupted to the bone, is also convincing. Sam Claflin is OK. Decca Heggie is a very special appearance, he kind of steals the film, not only because of his massive stature but he's really good as a very bad guy. The other actors are not as good as the ones named. Too many scenes showing us London by night, or by day, especially filmed in Canary Wharf and Stratford area, far too many. I know that the Canary Wharf is very attractive due to those skyscrapers, but a scene, maximum two, would have been enough.
