One of the finest Korean movie out there !!

Brilliantly directed and even more effectively presented by all the actors. Ground breaking storyline backed by excellent dialogues and acting. Worth your precious time for sure. But I bet that in reality this super rich are too powerful and beyond the reach of cops. Let's hope that one day this will happen in reality as well.

Good mix of genres

VETERAN is an action comedy thriller from South Korea that effortlessly jumps from genre to genre, remaining entertaining as it does so. A slightly overlong running time is the only downside; some of the middle section feels rather padded and it's a little too easy to get caught in the overwhelming number of characters, some of them extraneous. The story is about a veteran cop hot on the heels of a slimy young rich guy, and there's the expected social commentary at the role of the rich and disaffected of Korea. The story tends to work better when it comes to the comedy instead of the thrills, but there's a string of fine action scenes to enjoy here, with some Jackie Chan-style multi-combatant fight scenes, a rooftop chase, and an incredibly powerful climax.
