The latest film in the Roundup franchise, offers yet another fun romp for action fans.

Whilst rather formulaic, the Roundup South Korean crime action films, are fast paced and innovative enough, to remain fresh and entertaining.

A basic crime story provides the stage for a variety of fast paced fight scenes that are beautifully choreographed and inventive, not to mention, at times, downright amusing.

In summary, if you love action you wont be disappointed by this film or any in the series. Yes, there are subs but given these films are predominantly driven by exposition, this is hardly an inconvenience.
