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.

Rated: 2.5/4

Ventana Indiscreta

'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.

Rated: 3.5/5

Guillermo Courau

La Nación (Argentina)

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]

Rated: 3/5

Rob Thomas

Capital Times (Madison, WI)

“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.

Rated: 3/4

Enjoyed the movie, make sure you watch the prequel to this movie "The Outlaws" so you get to know the characters, just a recommendation but not required.

Doesn't add anything new to the genre, but it's certainly very hard-hitting.
