Veteran

Seo Do-cheol (The Unjust's Hwang Jung-min) is a detective in the major-crimes squad. He is impulsive, irreverent, and always up for a fight - so much so that his colleagues accuse him of having become a cop just to beat people up. Veteran opens with Seo and his crack team in the middle of an international auto-theft sting, which leads to a garage skirmish in which Seo displays his resourcefulness as he gleefully weaponizes everything from car doors to spray paint. But the sundry abilities of Seo and his fellow officers are put to the test when they set their sights on Jo Tae-oh (Yoo Ah-in), the tyrannical heir to the Sunjin Group, a powerful conglomerate that regularly flouts the law. Officers and corporate criminals alike pull out all the stops as Seo and Jo head toward an inevitable showdown. (Toronto International Film Festival)
