Policeman's Lineage, The

[Available June 7 on various digital and VOD platforms.] An ethical, greenhorn South Korean detective (Woo-sik Choi), whose father and grandfather were on the force, is assigned to go undercover to investigate a decorated, break-the-rules Metropolitan Investigation Unit leader (Cho Jin-woong) who may be corrupt and involved with unsavory criminals (Kwon Yul, Park Myeong-hoon, et al.) in Kyu-mann Lee's convoluted, action-packed, well-paced, cliché-driven, plot-hole-filled, violent, 119-minute film adapted from Joh Sasaki's Japanese novel Blood of the Policeman.
