The Roundup: Punishment

One of the most gripping scenes in "The Roundup: Punishment" is the final confrontation between the protagonist, Detective Ma Seok-do (played by Ma Dong-seok), and the film's main antagonist. This climactic battle is a defining moment in the film, showcasing the intense action and emotional stakes.

Why It Stands Out:

Intense Action:

The scene is packed with high-octane action, featuring intense hand-to-hand combat and expertly choreographed fight sequences. The raw physicality and power displayed by Ma Seok-do are both thrilling and satisfying to watch. The choreography is well-executed, emphasizing the brutality and stakes of the confrontation.

Character Development:

This scene highlights the determination and resilience of Detective Ma Seok-do. Throughout the film, he is portrayed as a relentless and tough character, and the final confrontation encapsulates his unwavering dedication to justice. The antagonist's character is also fleshed out, making the battle not just a physical struggle but a clash of ideologies.

I was waiting for this movie since couple of months, and last night i saw this movie,, this Francaise is famous for its hand combat fight sequence, but unfortunately this is the least fighting movie of this Francaise, and story also is not that gripping, basically the movie is about online gambling gang, the antagonist is good at the start, but the last scene was not to the point, my man don lee is good but i missed his aura in this movie, i think the best movie of this Francaise is the last one, which released in 2023. After watching that one i was eagerly waiting for this one, but after watching this one i am disappointed,

Those of you who have watched the three previous The Roundup films will surely be familiar with the formula of this film series, namely detective Ma Seok-do and his team are faced with a criminal case that they must investigate in depth. For his latest film, namely The Roundup: Punishment, Seok-do and his team now have to deal with an online gambling syndicate which also causes several horrific murder incidents.

What clearly differentiates Punishment from the previous film The Roundup is that Seok-do and his team now have to face cyber crimes that they have never investigated before. Seok-do and his team's ignorance about cybercrime is clearly an important point in the comedy elements of this film. Plus, Seok-do has to work with ridiculous thugs to carry out his mission.

As an action film starring Ma Dong-seok, you certainly don't need to doubt the action presented in Punishment. You can see Ma Dong-seok's boxing and slamming action, which without hesitation kills the criminals, so the action feels satisfying. Apart from that, the villain in this film also has a quite cruel character, where he kills his targets very cruelly. The display of blood adds to the intensity of the action in this film.

It was a very good movie from the start of The Roundup, but when you cover the philippines , there is a law regarding wearing the Philippine National Police Uniform, We don't know how much you guys paid to use the philippine government specially in Region 3. I hope you guys research first before. I hope you know the Revised Penal Code (RPC). Per article 179 of the RPC, I think your movie connected and related in illegal Philippine Offshore gaming operator(POGO). Again I really like the "The roundup" movie but please make sure follow and law and regulations of the Philippine Government. Thank you!!!!

We saw this movie on its premiere at Berlinale. Whats so nice at festivals, that you walk into the theater mostly without knowing what is about to come. Eventhough you tend to identify the movie as pure action genre first, it took a bit longer to get to the korean perspective which is different from ours, but oh my good.... that was so refreshing! I enjoyed watching this so much, the story doesnt take itself too seriously, it brought not only drive and action, but smile and laugh in a very special way it touched your heart. Only two words in my mind to describe this movie: warm and kindhearted.
