Bringing the spirit of 1980s American cop comedies to a contemporary Korean setting, action auteur Ryoo Seung-wan (The Berlin File, The Unjust) is at the top of his game with Veteran, working again with charismatic actor Hwang Jung-min (The Unjust, New World), and his long-time action choreographer Jung Doo-hong. Hwang Jung-min plays a veteran police detective who takes on the tyrannical and sadistic heir to a powerful conglomerate, portrayed with evil deliciousness by heartthrob Yoo Ah-in (Punch). Korean audiences have responded enthusiastically to Veteran’s perfect mixture of high-octane action, slapstick comedy, and timely social commentary on the nature of power and privilege in Korean society, by making it the third most watched domestic film of all times.
