The Policeman's Lineage
South Korea / 2022 / 119 min
In Korean with Chinese and English subtitles
Busan International Film Festival

Who watches the watchmen? This eternal conundrum is once again put to the test in this morally complex hard-boiled police thriller. Choi Woo-sik (Parasite) stars as Min-jae, a rookie police officer who is rigorously by-the-book. This very quality makes him the perfect candidate to investigate Gang-yoon (Cho Jin-woong), a decorated officer who believes that, when it comes to policing, the end justifies the means. Embedded in Gang-yoon’s team as a mole, Min-jae begins to question his own loyalties after seeing Gang-yoon in action. An intense thrill ride with a compelling moral debate at its core, this is genre cinema at its best.
