1. A more mature type of film. The fusion of crime, suspense, detective, comedy, and family elements, and injecting many sharp practical problems, such as the serious wealth gap in South Korea, the complex relationship between the government and the chaebol, the problem of class differentiation, loan problems, housing problems, etc. The movie satisfies both the function of "genre pleasure" and the function of cultural reflection, but it lacks reflective stamina. For example, in the heavy scene where driver Pei was persecuted when he went to the company building, too many brushstrokes were used to outline Liu Yaren's life. If the image is changed, the audience will be transferred to the empathy ability unconsciously.

2. Genre films are a reaffirmation of ideology. Once you have mastered the genre film routine, it's easy to guess the end when you see the beginning. "Veteran" leads us to experience the life of a chaebol outside the ordinary life, and at the end reiterates the mainstream value that justice ultimately prevails over evil.

3. From the perspective of the film structure, it is relatively routine. The film starts with a case, shows the protagonist's character, team relationship, and leads to the main plot paragraphs in 20 minutes. First, the poverty line and the rich line are separated, and then the two are separated. The lines overlap to varying degrees in different time periods, like countless crossroads, piled up with time and plots, full of anger, expanding the width of human nature, and finally burst out with a "bloody" victory, while adding a lot of The comedy component enhances its visibility.

4. Yaren is so handsome ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! But here Hwang Jung-min is even better!

    In the script, it roughly divides the binary opposition and contradiction, and seizes the fermentation of social topical events, such as the weak and the strong, the poor and the rich, the upper-level business lords and the justice police. The process of sadistic violence is shown in the streets that everyone is familiar with. The mood of the audience is spiraling, and the boiling point is constantly approaching, and the value of anger doubles. This type of commercial action focuses on consumer justice and morality, and the box office popularity is the same as "Old Paoer".
