The Beast Cop returns in . Detective Ma Seok-do () travels to Vietnam with Captain Jeon Il-man () travel to Vietnam to repatriate a captured criminal back to Korea. However, Ma discovers that a madman named Kang Hae-sang () has been kidnapping and killing Korean tourists. When Kang travels to Korea to deal with the father of his latest victim, Ma and his team set a plan to bring this killer to justice.

The Roundup is an action-comedy by director Sang-yong Lee and a sequel to 2018’s The Outlaws. Don Lee (Train to Busan, Eternals) returns as Detective Ma Seok-do, a renegade police officer likelier to solve crimes with his fists than his brains. Detective Ma finds himself tracking sadistic murderer Kang Hae-sang who holds wealthy Korean tourists for ransom in Vietnam before killing them anyway. When Kang arrives in Korea to collect his latest ransom, it gives Ma the chance to apprehend this madman.

In just a few short years, , better known by his anglicized name of Don Lee, has become one of the biggest (literally) action stars to come out of South Korea, and Detective Ma Seok-do is now firmly established as Don Lee’s signature character. The Roundup does an excellent job at mixing comedy with violent action scenes, some of which seem reminiscent of the fight scenes from The Raid. While a sequel to 2018’s The Outlaws, The Roundup stands as its film and ends up being a pretty entertaining action-comedy.
