## Plot

[edit]

Four years after the sweeping operation in Garibong-dong, Detective Ma Seok-do and Captain Jeon Il-man head to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to extradite a suspect Yoo Jong-hoon. After their arrival, they meet some Koreans living in Vietnam. Ma interrogates Jong-hoon, who reveals that he turned himself in because Lee Jong-du tried to kill him. Ma and Il-man leave for Jong-du's hideout, only to find him dead, where they learn about the duo's involvement with Kang Hae-sang, a vicious killer who has kidnapped and killed Koreans and several tourists, in exchange for money. Kang's one such victim is a wealthy young Korean named Choi Yong-gi.

Ma, Il-man and Park Chang-su (the resident officer at the consulate) dig into the garden, where they find Choi's body, but the local police warn him to halt the investigation. Despite the proceedings, Ma and Il-man arrive at a gambling den, where they interrogate a Korean thug named Raku, and learn that Choi's father Choi Choon-baek, a business tycoon has sent mercenaries to kill Kang. Later, Kang arrives at the house, where he kills all the hired killers, who reveal about Choon-baek. Ma arrives and overpowers Kang, but the latter escapes. Ma and Il-man are deported back to Korea, where they learn that Kang has smuggled himself and landed in the city to meet Choon-baek.

After the duo land in Korea, Ma interrogates Jang I-soo, who is alive and now running an export service, where he learns about a recently arrived smuggling boat. They check the CCTV footage of Gongping port, only to confirm that Kang has arrived. Choon-baek announces a hefty amount for his men to bring Kang alive. After learning that Kang's case have been handed over to the Foreign Affairs, Ma and Il-man convince their superiors and receive a week deadline to catch him. Kang discreetly arrives at Choi's funeral, where he kidnaps Choon-baek, after killing his bodyguard. Kang then contacts Choon-baek's wife Kim In-sook and demands money, in exchange for Choon-baek.

In-sook takes help from Ma and his team and cooperates with them, so that they can arrest Kang. Ma takes the help of Jang I-soo, who along with In-sook heads to the location where the deal is taking place in disguise as her driver. Meanwhile, Ma's teammate Dong-gyun finds Kang's hideout where he rescues Choon-baek and requests backup, but is stabbed by Kang, who escapes after seeing the backup cops. After driving at the parking lot of a shopping complex, Jang I-soo escapes with the money, leaving In-sook behind while Ma and his teammates subdue Kang's two associates.

With the plans of extortion gone awry, Kang decides to escape from Korea with the money that Jang I-soo took. He tracks Jang I-soo's acquaintance "Captain Eye" and learns that Jang I-soo is planning to escape to China. Kang confronts Jang I-soo, who escapes leaving the money behind. Afterwards, Kang boards a bus to leave Korea. From a tip-off by Jang I-soo, Ma stops the bus where he defeats Kang and has him arrested. In the aftermath, Ma and his team celebrate for solving the case.

## Inspiration

[edit]

Main article: Philippine-Korean Kidnapping Group (in Korean)

The plot is loosely based on the story of Yoon Cheol-wan, a missing South Korean soldier who was a suspected victim of a serial kidnapping and murder case that took place in the Philippines between 2008 and 2012, in which several other Koreans who disappeared were among the victims of the case. Unlike the film in which the perpetrators are punished, the real incident has not been solved completely due to the unconfirmed number of victims and the uncertainty of Yoon's final fate. The real-life perpetrators of the case were all sentenced to life imprisonment for only a few out of all the killings they committed.[15]

## Production

[edit]

The film was scheduled to be filmed in Vietnam in March 2020, but due to COVID-19 pandemic, filming schedule in Vietnam was postponed and the domestic part was filmed first. Later, it was decided to complete the post-production in Korea by mobilizing local filming, sets, and CG. Filming concluded in June 2021.[16] The net production cost of the film was about 10.5 billion won. Including marketing and promotional costs, the total production cost was about 13 billion won.[1]

## Release

[edit]

The Roundup was pre-sold to 132 countries around the world ahead of its release in South Korea. North America, Taiwan, Mongolia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Philippines were preparing for the simultaneous release with Korea.[17] It was released on 2,521 screens on May 18, 2022, in South Korea.[18]

The film was released in the Philippines on June 22, 2022. The local release was made possible by the partnership between South Korean content investment and distribution company Laon Company Plus (led by CEO Hongkyu Cho) and Philippines-based content production and distribution company Glimmer Studio (formerly Glimmer Production) owned by Grace Lee.[19]

The film was banned from screening in Vietnam by censorship authorities on the grounds that "there are too many violent scenes" while some speculated that it might be because of the negative portrayal of Vietnamese Ho Chi Minh City in the movie.[20][21]

## Reception

[edit]

### Critical response

[edit]

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 96% approval rating based on 25 reviews, with an average rating of 7.7/10.[33]

James Marsh of South China Morning Post gave 4 stars out of 5, and praised Ma Dong-seok's performance as "a truly unique, utterly captivating leading man."[34] Baek Geon-woo in his review for Oh My News praised the performance of Ma Dong-seok and described his character as "the Korean version of the 'superhero' shown in the West."[35] Xports' Kim Ye-eun appreciated the direction of the action sequences presented by the main character Ma Seok-do and the villain Kang Hae-sang.[36] Whang Yee Ling of The Straits Times rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote, "Lee and his returning teammates share slapstick camaraderie, and their investigation maintains rambunctious energy to climax in a thrilling extended car chase."[37] Dennis Harvey writing for Variety appreciated the direction of Lee Sang-yong and praised the comic elements of the film, stating "the movie manages with deceptive ease, maximizing both humor and extreme harm."[38]

### Criticism

[edit]

Several organizations dedicated to the rights of disabled people criticized the film for fueling prejudices by depicting a character with a mental disability as a danger to the public: a scene in the beginning of the film where a man escaped from a mental hospital, threatens the police and public with a knife as he holds two women hostage inside a supermarket. On 7 July 2022, group of seven organizations, including the Korea Association for Mental Disorders and the Research Institute of the Differently Abled Person's Rights in Korea, held a press event in front of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea building in Seoul, calling on authorities to ban screenings of the film. Responding to the matter, the production crew stated that they had no intention of giving off that sort of message.[39][40]
