Watch Veteran For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Seo Do-cheol is your typical detective in South Korean movies: violent, hypermasculine, more than willing to break a couple of heads. In his work he gets to know driver Bae. When Bae ends up in the hospital after attempting to commit suicide, Seo Do-cheol decides to investigate the reasons behind the act. Pretty soon his path crosses the one of rich young man Jo Tae-oh, who will not be very happy about Seo Do-cheol's intrusion in his daily life."Veteran" centers on the showdown between the detective and the rich kid, in a not very subtle critic of the heirs of big businesses that believe that everyone has to obey them and that they live in a world where rules don't apply to them. This could do for lots of fun. However, the movie just doesn't have much energy, and not much originality, either. This is caused, in part, by the rhythm. The movie is overlong and the pace suffers from it, scenes becoming stretched too thin and making the viewer disconnect with the proceedings. It doesn't help either that the action direction is flat, with little flash, even if, on a positive side, they have some good sense of humor."Veteran" ends being an average action-comedy movie, with your run- of-the-mill detective-vs-the-rich plot.

Seo Do-cheol is a righteous cop with a great team and boss, entangled in the deceit of a mad rich businessman Jo Tae-oh. Tae-oh uses his power to buy everything and everyone which stand against him. Do-cheol rises against Tae-oh against all odds and the events are just magnificent how Do-cheol fervently takes everything on his hands to destroy the supremacy and menace of Tae-ohVeteran is a classy action-comedy which perfectly takes the social milieu and delivers in a splendid manner. The screenplay is pretty consistent with all the layers of story unfolding at the right moments; it never breaks the momentum of the viewer. The characterization is almost near the realism as every actor lives the life of the characters.Jeong-min Hwang is a natural actor and has already given some of the best performances in Korean Cinema. He impeccably embodies the character of an upright cop who is agile and stands for morals. Ah In Yoo astonishingly portrays the character of a wrathful and treacherous businessman and his madness on the screen will make you cringe. Hae-jin Yoo and Dal-su Oh are remarkable in the supporting characters, both complement the screenplay effortlessly. Rest is cast has done pure justice to the characters.Veteran has a slick action which packs the right punches and martial are never goes over the top. The cinematography works splendidly in the action scenes which are well choreographed too with lot of gags.Korean Movies are quintessentially awesome when it comes to crime-action-comedy. The blend of dark humor with stylish action is a genre shift which is a hard nut to crack. Korean movies have already mastered in the genre and also there are also lot invocations. Veteran is an epitome of the same genre

This is a fairly entertaining cop team vs bad businessmen movie. I still like the movie "Public Enemy (2002 film). But this movie was executed pretty well, with a lot of on feet chase sequences that is in basically all Korean detective movies. Well at least those that has some comedic elements in it. I did like the execution for this movie, it's fast-paced for the most part and the wild cop with integrity going up against a rich spoiled psycho is done pretty well in this. What really grabbed my attention is how two comedic actors Oh Dal-Su and Yu Hae-Jin are in the same movie on opposing sides. Yoo Ah-In who plays the spoiled psycho is a bit over the top, especially with his expressions. He sort of reminded me of Calvin Candie from "Django Unchained". But it's to sell how much of a bad guy it is so I give it a pass, plus it didn't get too ridiculous. Hwang Jung-Min who plays the wild cop doesn't really bring anything new but it gets the job done.7.5/10

The first act of Veteran consists of utter shenanigans and plenty of nut shots, which might undermine its closer to reality dark story later on. When it introduces the rich mad antagonist it ramps up into one of the best cop dramas from Korea in recent times. The setup is smart, often looking eerily authentic yet still presents a couple of heavy themes with strikingly eccentric characters.It opens up with simple case of car smuggling which feels as though it's usual Korean drama, while funny it doesn't possess the right gravitas. About half an hour comes the antagonist Tae Oh (Ah In Yoo) who practically turns the tone upside down. From then it's a mental and physical struggle that's utterly bloody and dark. This is quite the brutal chess game of cop versus criminal.It's definitely a pleasant surprise, delivering harrowing scene of debauchery and corruption. The way the actors carry themselves bring just enough realism to the character, either it's from the daily life or interaction between colleagues or disproportionate respect to boss. The social and public culture is exaggerated, yet it's odd enough to be real. The director knows how to present the characters, both the flawed antagonist and seemingly suave antagonist, and make audience root or despise them.Action is pretty good, it keeps the tone of actual brawl with real life martial art and has succeeded on portraying impact on its punches and kicks. The visual takes very direct ambiance and aside for a few distinct moments, it keeps the genuine atmosphere intact. If there's a hindrance in the movie, it's that the quirky comedy might not translate well. These types of gags are common for Korean shows, but they do tend to be excessive.Using far end spectrum from both crime drama and action comedy, Veteran is a fervid and visceral cop thriller with dissonantly relatable social backdrop.
