The Roundup: Punishment (2024). 1h 49m

“The hit South Korean action series is back with its latest instalment u0026quot;The Roundup: Punishmentu0026quot;…nThe plot is simple, but it does not need to be overly complex instead the biggest strength of the film is how approachable it is…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat allowed me to get so invested, though, was the acting. Don Lee as Detective Ma Seok-do just has a level of charm and charisma that is unparalleled. He gives his all when it comes to comedy, drama, and especially action. In conjunction with Don Leeu0026#39;s performance, we have Kim Mu-yeol as Baek. His performance is cold and calculated, and every time he is on screen, the tension levels increase to a boiling point. As the filmu0026#39;s main villain, he is just perfect…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFrom the first impact to the final blow at the end. Every action scene is just a feast for the eyes. While the cinematography is anything but flashy, it also captures every punch, kick, and knife perfectly so that every action scene is easy to follow and gripping. While if there were more creative camera choices things would have made a bid difference…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall Everything combined allows The Roundup: Punishment to be a great time. It is up there as one the favourite films of the year so far u0026amp; one can feel this is a film that anyone can enjoy. It is worth seeing on the big screen with popcorn in hand…”
