Sam Claflin and Timothy Spall star in trailer for British crime thriller The Corrupted

January 2, 2020 by Amie Cranswick

With a little over two weeks to go until its US release, a poster and trailer have arrived online for the British crime thriller The Corrupted which stars Sam Claflin as an ex-con looking for redemption who must risk everything to save his brother (Joe Claflin) from the violent circle of a corrupt property developer (Timothy Spall); take a look here…

Beneath blinding lights & towering sights of the newly-built East London skyline, lies a dark, dangerous web of corruption. Stratford was home to the Olympic Games. But there’s little hope to be found for the recently released Liam McDonagh (Sam Claflin); a talented boxer sent away for armed robbery, who wants nothing more than a peaceful life, and to reconnect with his young son Archie. But his brother (Joe Claflin) is in deep, caught up in property developer Clifford Cullen’s (Timothy Spall) violent, unforgiving circle, with no route out. Liam knows he must risk everything to save his brother before it’s too late, but first, he needs to know who he can trust – which is a harder proposition than it sounds.

The Corrupted is set for a US release on January 17th.

Originally published January 2, 2020. Updated January 1, 2020.
