Monster detective Ma Seok-do is back! After smashing his way through Philippines and the Korean box office, he is back in Korea to smash the living daylights out of the bad guys in “The Roundup” director Lee Sang-yong's followup to the ninth highest grossing Korean film of all time.
Synopsis
Detective Ma Seok-do joins a new crime investigation unit led by Jang Tae-soo and includes Detective Kim Man-jae. They go up against Joo Seong-cheol, who is the son of a powerful chaebol family. The Japanese yakuza are also involved in the case.
After the terrific negative turns by both Yoon Kye-sang and Son Suk-ku in the first two parts respectively, the responsibility of being at the brunt of Ma Dong-seok's punches falls on Lee Joon-hyuk, who plays the big baddie Joo Seong-cheol this time round. Lee Beom-soo and Kim Min-jae make up the detective team as Jang Tae-soo and Kim Man-jae respectively. Japanese actor Munetaka Aoki is also part of the cast, as is the legendary Jun Kumimura, who will feature in an important cameo role. While no official date is announced yet, “The Roundup: No Way Out” is expected to have a summer 2023 release, which will likely be a worldwide release.
