THE ROUND UP: PUNISHMENT distributed by ABO Entertainment (2024). This is the 4th action film in the series starring Ma Dong-Seok as police detective Ma Seok-Do. There is no report on the final production budget. It has grossed $83 million at the world-wide box office.
I am a big fan of this movie series because Ma Donk-Seok is a Korean action star. "Punishment" opened in U.S theaters but not here at Albuquerque. So, I had to purchase it from Amazon Prime Video.
The story surrounds two brothers who want to control illegal Internet Casino Live games. It brings in a billion dollars each year. One ambitious brother kills an Internet expert who tried to get away from the illegal activity. His death is investigated by Ma Seok-Do who is led to these two brothers who like to fight with knives.
What I enjoy in each film is the comedy surrounding the police department. It is here in "Punishment" but not as much in the other movies. I'm talking about "laugh-out-loud" comedy from characters in the story. Plus, the action is top notch and fun to watch.
There is no report on a 5th film in this series.
