Veteran (2015) - Directed by Ryoo Seung-wan

[One Armed Boxer]

Ryoo Seung-wan is back with his first feature length movie since 2013's 'The Berlin File'. Reuniting him with 'The Unjust' stars Hwang Jeong-min and Yoo Hae-jin, it looks like we can look forward to more of Seung-wan's style of action, with the director himself taking a role in the movie. 'Veteran' is hitting Korean cinema screens in August.

Read your review a little while ago. I'm interested to see this. I caught The Berlin File on Netflix a while back, and really enjoyed that. I'll wait a little bit. I'm sure it'll show up there in time. Really good review, OAB. You've got me excited for the action in this one.

Yeah, I saw that. It was pretty funny in a couple of spots. I hope he never gives up making action movies though. And is there any word on a DVD yet? Buying the new Ryoo Seung-wan or Kim Jee-woon movie is kind of a Christmas tradition for me, when possible.
