Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 09/24/2015
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. Go to Full Review
Mike Hale New York Times 09/17/2015
"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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

acsdoug D @acsdoug 09/29/2024 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. See more C H 08/05/2023 A highly exciting movie with violence, snappy humour, great performances in all areas. See more 12/02/2021 The best Korean movie.

He really made his character iconic! See more 02/06/2021 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 See more 06/22/2018 Absolutely gripping from start to finish. Hwang Jung-min as always gives an amazing performance along with yoo Ah-in.
