Brawny detective Ma Seok-do is back and ready for another adventure! After the death of a drug-trafficking app’s developer, Ma joins forces with the Cyber Investigation Team and goes on a mission to take down the sinister Baek Chang-gi, who runs an illegal gambling market. He’s the one responsible for the murder, and he will not hesitate to kill people by any means necessary. However, Seok-do not only has to face against Chang-gi, but also his partner Chang Dong-cheol, who’s preparating his own selfish plan. It’s up to our hero to pursue proper justice and stop these criminals from achieving their goals.

Are you ready for the latest installment of THE ROUNDUP franchise?! Since the Fantasia premiere of THE OUTLAWS in 2018, the festival is tremendously proud to see it evolve as one of the best Korean action series of all time! This is already the fourth movie, so you know exactly what you’re getting into. Director Heo Myeong-haeng, the series’ longstanding fight choreographer, has been involved in lots of stunt work in the past, including the legendary hallway scene in OLDBOY. Lead actor Don Lee is here to stay, and there’s no stopping him. All the things you love from the previous instalments are in THE ROUNDUP: PUNISHMENT, especially the badass, beautifully executed action sequences! This is yet again an incredibly dynamic, insanely entertaining and crowd-pleasing popcorn blockbuster that both Korean cinema fans and action movie aficionadoes will absolutely love. – Steven Lee
