60 of 77 · most liked firstJust saw with the children the French movie “Die Kinder von Paris” (we saw it in German), its English title is The Roundup, detailing the deportation of Jews from Paris to, eventually, Auschwitz under the Nazi-collaborator Vichy regime. I cried. Why does it appear we haven’t learned?
positive · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #8 "The Roundup" (Lee Sang-yong/2022) Watch Ma Dong-seok slap fool like the beast he is in this fucking awesome sequel to The Outlaws. From Vietnam to South Korea, no criminal is safe from those meathooks!
positive · AI labelView post →Picking a (not so) random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #307 "The Roundup: No Way Out" (Lee Sang-yong/2023) The 3rd entry in the Roundup series and it's a fucking banger! Spoiler alert, all the Roundup films are bangers so far. Check them all out!
positive · AI labelView post →Another excellent film arrived today for the collection! - The Roundup: Punishment
positive · AI labelView post →Picking a (not so) random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #310 "The Roundup: Punishment" (Heo Myeong-haeng/2024) The fourth and latest installment in this ridiculously fun series of films. Ma Dong-seok slapping the shit out of fools just never gets old!
positive · AI labelView post →Picking a (not so) random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #298 "The Outlaws" (Kang Yoon-Sung/2017) The Roundup title was added once the series took on that name. Anyway, Ma Dong-seok slapping the shit out of bad guys in a movie that is stone cold awesome!
neutral · AI labelView post →#Watched The Roundup: Punishment (2024) - 4th film finds Ma as a fish out of water teaming up with Cyber Crimes - it’s hard to beefpaw a vicious gang who operate mostly online. The plot gets a bit up its own ass and the cyber folks never get a chance to shine, still very fun but a middling entry.
neutral · AI labelView post →when I finish the 4th film I should list the 'Top Ten.Punches From The Roundup Series'
neutral · AI labelView post →There's also the fact that most of the characters are pushed to the side (Bo literally exists the film), and Bunny and Duckie don't talk at all, but while the focus of the movie is limited to Buzz and the Roundup gang they make good use of them here, especially Jessie. (2/3)
neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching Holy Night Demon Hunters (2025 Lim Dae-hee) I feel like recent Don Lee movies have been the equivalent of cinematic junk food (Badland Hunters, The Roundup films). You get what you pay for, Lee smashing people and the rest of the movie being something of an afterthought, but let's see.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think the biggest disconnect between me and a lot of other Asian genre film fans is I just don't think The Roundup movies are much good at all. But thankfully I've yet to meet anyone who hasn't been won over by Baby Assassins.

neutral · AI labelView post →@screendrafts.bsky.social Next year THE ROUNDUP will become a 5 film franchise. It will be weird if it will be called THE ROUNDUP 5, as THE ROUNDUP is the sequel to THE OUTLAWS, and the third film is called THE ROUNDUP: NO WAY OUT, followed by THE ROUNDUP: PUNISHMENT.

neutral · AI labelView post →Have you seen the Korean movie "The Roundup"?
neutral · AI labelView post →191. The Roundup: No Way Out REALLY fun Korean crime/action film. It's less gritty than some of the KR crime movies I've watched but it's incredibly well choreographed and Ma Dong-seok does a really good job playing a human bulldozer in this.
positive · AI labelView post →BREAKING: Another Extraction movie is on the way for Netflix, and this one's a Korean spinoff titled TYGO. Directed by Lee Sang-yong (The Roundup), the next Extraction universe expansion stars Don Lee, Lee Jin-uk, and Lalisa ‘LISA’ Manobal.
neutral · AI labelView post →Took the Giratina Latis for a spin. lots of maneuvering but it's a fun one. Morty feels pretty savage but you can really delay Greninja with him sometimes. thanks for the Roundup and analysis! my kids love the "Lads" ever since seeing the Latios/Latias Pokemon movie recently so I had to try it

positive · AI labelView post →These films are all about civil service career men. Giving their all & suffering through the results. This week’s Films are THE RIP, CODE 3 and THE ROUNDUP: PUNISHMENT are these and other REVIEWS please check out Cinefilestv.blogspot.com or Cuttothechase.video.blog
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched The Roundup (2022) last night. Didn't realize it was a sequel to a film I haven't seen. Feels like an American action comedy circa 1980. Completely delivers on its Ma Dong-seok busting heads premise and then some.
positive · AI labelView post →I liked him in the Roundup movies too; haven't watched the demon movie though. Ma Dong Suk had the most action scenes in Twelve and he looked cool, but the series doesn't hold up as a whole. You can try watching the 1st ep and see if it's something you'll like.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hmm....I was saving up to binge 12. Ma Dong Suk was pretty good in the Roundup series, especially the 2nd one. His demon movie was pretty awful, though
neutral · AI labelView post →good lord, the anti-Japanese stereotyping in “The Roundup: No Way Out (범죄도시3)” (2023) is as bad as any Hollywood movie from the 80s
negative · AI labelView post →I watched The Outlaws, the first of The Roundup movies, and I have come to the conclusion that Ma Dong-seok really knows how to slap people. He is like Bud Spenser in that matter. Impressive. #filmsky www.cinematicpanic.com/the-outlaws-...
positive · AI labelView post →Time for some more 2024 catch up. Starting 2025 off with a bang watching The Roundup: Punishment. ACAB unfortunately, obviously, applies here, but watching Ma Dong Seok slap the souls out of some gangsters is always fun. #filmsky 🎥🎬

neutral · AI labelView post →I watched I, The Executioner last night. Good movie. After this & the Roundup movies, I'm tentatively figuring that I like Korean cop team movies. Good action, characterisation, drama, some humour. Kid gets violently bullied which sucked :( Exploration of vigilantism too. youtu.be/eiMJ8BW2EDA?...

positive · AI labelView post →Loved watching him in 'The Roundup' series--the 1st of which is 'The Outlaws'. (And, of course, NO WAY I'm passing up a chance to watch Son Seok-koo in his 'Roundup' movie!! 😍😌) Should preface this by saying I'm also very partial to cop or gang shows lol so they may not be everyone's cup of tea. ☺️
positive · AI labelView post →I also reviewed THE ROUNDUP: NO WAY OUT when it came out: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-... TBH, THE OUTLAWS is probably my favorite (and seemingly the best) of this mostly eh series.
neutral · AI labelView post →THE ROUNDUP: PUNISHMENT! Don Lee, aka the Monster Cop returns in the 3rd sequel to the popular Korean cop thriller series. It's sadly the weakest of the 4 movies, which started with THE OUTLAWS (17). Why won't they let Don Lee be funny? More at Roger Ebert dot com: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-...
negative · AI labelView post →The upcoming film The Roundup: Punishment has confirmed that even before the action film's release later this month, it has already established distribution rights in 164 foreign territories. The news speaks to the success of franchise as a whole, now in its fourth instalment.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Outlaws - Finally got to see this! The movie that started it all with the series The Roundup staring Don Lee. I love the mix of action with the bits of humor thrown in.

neutral · AI labelView post →Speaking of which, acab but two of The Roundup films are on Hulu, which I can only describe as a film series about a man who punches so hard it makes him an elite detective.
positive · AI labelView post →The Roundup 3 was bad :( The first movie is probably one of my favorites now but 3? BLEH At least my guy Ma Dong-seok was still a highlight even though everything in the movie kinda failed to give excitement to the action
negative · AI labelView post →Watching the third film (The Roundup: No Way Out) and while there are a lot more fight scenes most of them consist of Don Lee punching a guy so hard they go down in one hit with the occasional open palm slap to the face thrown in for laughs
neutral · AI labelView post →So I watched The Outlaws, the previous and first movie in the Roundup series and its interesting how that film was just a cop movie with Don Lee in it and this one really turned into a showcase for how big and buff he is
neutral · AI labelView post →Apparently this is a sequel to a not-called-"The Roundup"-movie, even though subsequent sequels use "The Roundup," oops
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched The Roundup only to find out that it's the second movie in the series and the first movie is called The Outlaws. But all the other movies are The Roundup: Something so was it a Rambo situation?
