The Policeman's Lineage (2022)

The Lineage Here Is Not Important

The importance of police and detective show is the motivation behind the character. That is one of the reason people watch this genre and for me 'The Policeman's Lineage' failed on that part. They didn't show much character introduction scene so the pacing on the first half of the movie was too fast and that made the rest duration a bit dragging.

I wished they included more of Choi Min Jae and Park Kang Yoon's backstory from the start, so viewer could relate to their character gradually. Why Min Jae chose to spy on Park Kang Yoon? Why he prioritized on being a good cop? Why Kang Yoon justified every way to get his goal?

You don't have to worry about acting. They casted amazing actors, especially Jo Jin Woong. He is famous for playing detective character and you can trust him on that. My issue here is Choi Woo Shik. First of all, I am a big fan of him and I follow every of his work. But I don't think he suits this detective role OR his character's writing affect his acting here in this movie. The rest supporting casts are excellent on their part.

I didn't expect much from this movie so I didn't get that disappointed. There is no remarkable scene or character and I don't get attached to neither the heroine or villain. They have this 'Lineage' concept but they don't really focus on that. I think 'The Policeman's Lineage' will be better as drama than movie, where they can give every side's perspective more screentime.

Is it a good movie? Good acting yes, good story? No. It is a bit boring for mystery crime genre and there is no thrilling exciting moment for me since the beginning to ending. Watch it when you have nothing to watch anymore.

wow that was unnecessary and very long for no reason

I really thought I was too harsh on the movie when I watched for the first time so today I gave it another chance to maybe to prove to myself that I was very uncharitable with my one star rating but as always I was right and my rating has changed to .5 star, and if there are negative rating on mdl, I will give it all
my problem is that the editing was so fucking terrible that I keep rewarding back to try and failing to understand wtf is the chain of events but it's was a waste of my time and I don't mind a minimum plot when I watch or read anything cuz I'm character driven type person and in the department of development of them it was bleh these movie remained me of the river of the tomb that movie was also a drag and a chore to finish I should have avoided it cuz who is the person who did the poster it's so busy and unremarkable
I started watching back because I saw the pictures of
kwon yool character sitting there with his tits out, and it's a couple of seconds . Even after seeing them, the rest of the movie worked so hard to ruin my mood ?
so yeah, I don't recommend it .
