A detective tracks down a successful young man running a crime syndicate.

An unremarkable crime tale, one whose plot often feels more the stuff of a brash one-hour TV procedural than a two-hour feature film.

"Veteran" is amusing throughout, even if the funny scenes are more subdued or go on a beat or two longer than American viewers are used to.

This is the heart of Korean action films; fun, breathtaking, and a pleasure to watch.

A film that saves the best for the last, going from being a detective comedy to drama. [Full review in Spanish]

While Veteran may resemble dozens of other recent South Korean thrillers, ... Ryoo imbues his film with a style and swagger all its own.

4/5

An exceptional cast, a tight, sharp script with perfect rhythm, rip-roaring comedy, and of course, the exciting action we've come to expect from director Ryoo Seung-wan, makes Veteran an excellent time at the movies.

I've become a fan of Korean cop dramas but this one just didn't cut it for me. The cheesy comedy bits led me to believe that everything will turn out okay and the good guys were never in any real danger. Good chase scene at the end though.

The character Jo Tae-oh in this movie is based on a true story. Unfortunately, these contents are the hidden dark inside of Korea. This movie captured the images well enough

Absolutely gripping from start to finish. Hwang Jung-min as always gives an amazing performance along with yoo Ah-in. It has a splendid balance of humor and whit, with suspense and drama. The fight scenes are also well executed.
