"If Ryoo Seung-wan’s Veteran had been around in the ‘80s, one can imagine Walter Hill at the helm and Nick Nolte tearing shit up as a no-nonsense cop in furious pursuit of a crim. Yes, this action-comedy, a blockbuster juggernaut in its home country of South Korea, is fairly old-hat material that’s unlikely to appear in any box office top tens if it were made in the West today."

The New York Times
The New York Times"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."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"A solid and acutely modern cops and robbers thriller."
