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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Free admission!
