South Korea's popular Action Series 'The Round Up' reaches the U.S.

THE ROUND UP: NO WAY OUT (2023). It opens in U.S theaters on June 2, 2023. It is the 3rd action film in the "Crime City" series which comes out of South Korea. It follows detective Ma Seok-Do (Ma Dong-Seok AKA Don Lee) who uses muscular force while investigating crime.

THE ROUND UP (2022) is the 2nd action film in the series that became a world wide box office smash. $101 Million. Detective Ma Seok Do and his captain travel out of their jurisdiction to escort a criminal back to Korea. They stumble upon four dead bodies connected to a man from their homeland.

THE OUTLAWS (2017) is the 1st action film in the series that became a hit in South Korea. $52 Million. It was never released internationally. It follows Detective Ma Seok Do who fights a gang war and a drug lord. 

NOTE: I watched THE ROUND UP (2022) last night and it was fantastic. The script had a lot of action from the lead actor (Ma Doug-Seok) who is muscular and big. His detective is smart who follows instinct on crime. It also has comedy from the whole cast. I loved it and I'm looking forward to the 3rd installment.

Below is the trailer for THE ROUND UP (2022) with English Sub-titles.
