Korea The Roundup movie review (2022)
The Roundup is set four years after the first film, after Detective Ghost successfully solves crime problems in Garibong-dong. Like the first movie, The Roundup still has the action-comedy genre. Throughout the film, we will see the wit of Detective Ma when he fights against criminals.
This time, the conflict is mainly inspired by tourist abductions that often occur in several Southeast Asian countries. The conflict is packaged in a way that resembles a regular crime-themed movie without any political moves or anything like that.
This makes the plot really seem simple and nothing special. However, the presence of a simple story really makes it easier for the audience to digest it so they can focus more on the action scenes that are the main attraction of the movie.
Also, you really don’t need to see the first movie to understand the plot of The Roundup. You see, the main conflicts between these duos are unrelated. It’s just, you won’t understand some of the references or the presence of the characters from the previous film reappearing in this sequel.
Action movies with Ma Dong-seok in the lead role always promise extremely eye-catching fighting scenes. This also applies to The Roundup, which has a rating for viewers 17 years of age and older. Therefore, the action scenes in the film are not downgraded to show the moments of brutal battles that make people even more heartbreaking.
However, the most eye-catching moments in this movie still take place every time Detective Ma takes action against criminals. Moreover, when Detective Ma punches the criminals with his arm so hard that they pass out in just one hit.
Those of you who are loyal fans of Ma Dong-seok are sure to be very satisfied after watching this movie. In a way, Ma Don-seok’s appearance in this film resembles his portrayal of Gilgamesh in Eternals, just without the superfluous CGI every time he throws a deadly fist.
In addition to Ma Deong-seok’s stunning action sequences, there is one more actor who has gained attention in this drama as Seon Seok-koo, who plays the main antagonist of the film, namely Kang Hae-sang. In the movie, Kang Hae-sang is a high-ranking criminal who kills many Korean tourists just for ransom.
Son Seok-koo also appeared as terrible as Kang Hae-sang. His presence as a calm but deadly villain succeeded in making the audience’s hearts flutter with fear every time he saw him wielding a knife. Furthermore, Kang Hae-sang seems to really enjoy killing his enemies in a very brutal way.
In the end, with a simple story, The Roundup has succeeded in becoming an action movie that can provide satisfaction after watching. This movie will be a must for those of you who like the action genre or are in need of eye-catching action sequences without a heavy plot.
