The Roundup

The follow-up to 2017’s 'The Outlaws' brings back Ma Dong-seok’s lovable lunk hero — and the same sharp mix of laughs and thrills.

“The Roundup” is an action-packed sequel to the 2017 film “The Outlaws.” Often times brutal and very bloody, the movie also has its share of slapstick comedy thanks to its affable star Ma Dong-seok.

'The Roundup' cuts straight to the chase: all it wants is to use a real-life story to develop a predictable and archetypical plot, and deliver brutal and well-choreographed action scenes. And it does as promised. Full review in Spanish.

A fun and well-made film.

Without straying from the "cop buddy" bible, The Roundup delivers a good script elevated by meticulously choreographed action scenes... and by a protagonist who is closer to Bud Spencer than Clint Eastwood. [Full review in Spanish]

“The Roundup” somehow manages to balance its hard-R violence against some fairly goofy comedy that wouldn’t be out of place in a Jackie Chan “Police Story” movie.

A first-class action pic.

The key ingredient to The Roundup’s success is the mesmerising performance of Lee.

The Roundup is a worthy successor to The Outlaws as it inches further with its ambition thanks to punchy action scenes, genial humour, assured tonal shifts and its infectious sense of fun. Bring back the Beast Cop for another sequel!

The humor is witty, the drama carries weight, and the action elicits audible “oomphs” and “oh-nos” from the audience. ... the whole of the film, led by the absolutely fantastic Lee, is a raucously good time.
