Veteran is like Beverly Hills Cop remade with the young Jackie Chan. Masterfully mixes hardcore action with a sense of playfulness.

"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.

an exciting, often very funny ride through Korea's social divisions, class inequalities and rough justice, Gangnam-style or otherwise.

An entertaining, if overlong, and not particularly distinguished cop flick...

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.

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

The bare-knuckle climactic showdown between the two in a crowded Gangnam district is a brutally satisfying resolution to this formulaic but well-made thriller.

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.

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