"The Roundup: No Way Out” does not improve on the slightly refined formula of “The Roundup,” but it goes down a little smoother and is notably slicker.

Rated: 2.5/4

Cinema Crazed

... is a fun action film with some bits of drama here and there to try and make it more than just a beatdown by one character on all the others. The story is decent, can stand alone without the first film easily, and one that is fun to watch.

Rated: 4.5/5

You don’t need to watch the previous Crime City movies to follow No Way Out, but you should, because they rule, and any excuse to watch Ma Dong-seok punching fools is a good one.

Film Threat

If you miss the blatant disregard for one’s rights and a bit of brutality that came in the form of Lethal Weapon and Beverly Hills Cop, The Roundup: No Way Out is as good as it gets for those feelings of modern-day nostalgia.

Rated: 7/10

Reel Rundown

Don Lee punching his way through criminals is what draws you to the Crime City films, but The Roundup: No Way Out is forgettable. Fights are over as soon as they begin while the action choreography and cinematography are completely lacking in style.

Rated: 3/5

We used to get this itch scratched by movies like Beverly Hills Cop. Hollywood doesn't really bring those movies anymore -- but they do in Korea!

The beast cop never disappoints! This movie had more humor and all the punching that made the first two great.

This is a super fun, high action police thriller sequel to the highly successful "Roundup" series. Ma Dong-Seok, or Don Lee, leads a cast of Lorean Police Detectives willing to use unconventional methodologies to solve their cases. The story is about a corrupt Korean police element working with the Japanese Yakuza on an international drug ring to distribute a new drug. There are elements of cross and double cross and it is very watchable. it is funny in a sarcastic way, but at its core, a police action film, like lethal Weapon. I much prefer the Korean with English subtitles to the Dubbed. Looking forward to next installment.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
