Cold Case Provisional Task Force (2019)

Impossible police movie

Impossible police movie why...? Because it's really miracle if you get into special forces into police department just by being a hero & all the reporter happen to ask if you would get into police forces or not & the mayor just agreed by it. But still it's become one good dream that this movie sold. Haha...

Oh Gyun Shik became police by pure luck & coincidence. That's why all the superior & senior in the police forces don't know what to do with him. And by suggestion by one of the leader he become first ever police intern. But Gyun Shik didn't take the job for granted & did it with all his heart. Maybe that's why God (and of course our writer) give him opportunity & talent to do the job well & got acknowledged by his colleagues. Even his direct boss, that at first really want to 'kick' his out, become his supporter & fight for his position in police force.

Overall this one good Detective movie...

This film feels more like a pilot for a series. I'd even say it feels like an exposé for a series -- the movie's plot could have been the first half of the episodes, with the later half dedicated to the resolution of the main character's backstory.

The plot seems unfinished, some parts of it feel rushed, and it's unfortunate that a lot of backstory just gets told via the older detective's thoughts. I also would have liked to see more of all characters, and more of how they grow to like the main character. As it is, we still get a surprising amount of character development, especially from the team leader. (Heo Sung Tae is a highlight, as always.)

I think if the writer might have originally planned to have this produced as a longer series. There's a surprising amount of world building there, the characters all seem to have much more backstory than what we got to see. I certainly would like to watch this as a longer series, if it ever gets made.
Well, who knows what happened, at least they got a small budget for making this film, right?

One thing that is probably better because of the short duration of the movie: There was no time to force a romance subplot into it.

Overall, the movie does what it can with its short time and low budget, and it is a nice watch for a rainy afternoon or so.
