Plot

edit

In the Philippines, Baek Chang-gi, a former Korean Special Forces and current head of an online gambling organization, kills his worker Jo Sung-jae as he attempts an escape. Chang Dong-cheol, the casino administrator, promises to increase Baek's share in exchange for shutting down a rival casino and take over their patrons. Baek stages a violent raid on the rival's server and takes the members' data, but Chang does not fulfill his promise. Baek flies back to South Korea to confront Chang.

Meanwhile, Detective Ma Seok-do investigates a possible case of online money laundering committed by Jo, but he learns about Jo's gruesome death. Jo's body is sent back to South Korea, where Ma studies the autopsy report and realizes that the case might have much deeper implications. Jo's grieving mother pleads with Ma to get justice for her son and takes her own life, which makes Ma determined to capture the culprits. Ma joins the agency's Cyber Investigation team. They trace Jo's employment history and data backup in the cloud to a money laundering joint, where they apprehend the manager, Choi Yu-seong. Ma discovers that they are dealing with an online gambling ring, so he approaches Jang Yi-soo for help, as he had previously ventured into the industry.

Jang reveals his establishment was raided by the Emperor's Casino, which seeks to monopolize the online gambling industry. Baek meets with Chang in his isolated villa, who reveals he is working on a cryptocurrency scheme under the name of QM Holdings, with President Kwon as the public face, and is pushing to register it in the exchange. Chang tells Baek to accompany Ko to bribe the exchange representative. Impatient, Baek kills Ko and threatens the representative into accepting the bribe. Baek also assassinates Choi to stop him from becoming a witness against him. Concerned about Baek's actions, Chang orders Kwon to eliminate Baek.

Ma attempts to crash Chang's cryptocurrency opening event to investigate the possible link between QM Holdings and the Emperor's Casino, but is ambushed by Baek and his men. Ma manages to subdue one of the attackers, but Baek escapes and injures a civilian. Furious with lack of progress, the police chief disbands Ma's team. However, Ma begs the police agency commissioner to continue with the investigation. With the approval from the police agency commissioner and Jang's knowhow, the team launches a fake casino operation to lure those behind the Emperor's Casino into raiding them.

In conjunction with the Philippine National Police, they seize the Emperor's Casino server and trace the data to Korea, confirming that QM Holdings is indeed the front for the Emperor's Casino. After defeating Kwon's goons, Baek conspires with Kwon to obtain Chang's admin key and kills the latter. After duping and killing Chang, Baek takes the server data stored in the villa to reestablish the ring overseas, while leaving the rest for Kwon. The police storm the villa before Kwon finishes gathering the money. Ma personally confronts Baek and a brutal fight ensues; Ma defeats Baek and arrests him. Jang gets arrested for impersonating a cop after flaunting his fake badge which Ma had given him.

Critical response

edit

On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes website, the film has an approval rating of 91% based on 22 reviews, with an average rating of 7/10.[42]

Clarence Tsui of South China Morning Post rated the film 3/5 and lauded the sound effects writing, "The simple story is bolstered by brilliant sound effects, Ma’s endearing tech illiteracy, and Park Ji-hwan’s performance as his sidekick."[43]

Wendy Ide reviewing the film at Berlinale, wrote in ScreenDaily "Don Lee packs a punch in the fourth instalment of the popular Korean action comedy series."[44]

Stephanie Bunbury, in her review at Berlinale for Deadline said, "The Roundup: Punishment makes no intellectual demands on its audience, as that isn’t what it’s there for." Concluding her review she wrote, "In a genre where constant bafflement over plot details is the norm, this series stands out as carefully crafted, and fun, obviously."[45]

Writing for RogerEbert.com, Robert Daniels said, "Punishment” is a rock 'em, sock 'em edition that pretty much delivers all the open-hand slaps, booming punches, and flying knees to the head you want."[46]

Jessica Kiang writing in Variety gave positive review and praised; the director Heo Myung-haeng, saying "Heo Myeong-haeng proves to be a very efficient action director"; the cinematographer Lee Sung-je, expressing, "Lee Sung-je has an unerring instinct for placing the camera where it can best exploit the contrast between the speed of Lee’s movements and the resigned stoicism of his expression"; and the sound designer Gong Tae-won, stating, "But if there’s a below-the-line standout craftsperson it’s probably Gong Tae-won, who manages to foley consistently satisfying punch noises." Kiang opined, "[the film] sees Don Lee's Detective Ma find a new bunch of bad guys to beat up and is basically perfect, no notes."[47]

Niklas Michels, in his Berlinale-related review for the German Arthaus magazine Kino-Zeit, wrote that The Roundup: Punishment is a film for the cinema in which villains are simply evil without being a perversion of a hero. He drew parallels to the John Wick franchise, in which he emphasized that although the films could keep up in terms of action, John Wick was a much more subversive story. In The Roundup, dramaturgy was only located in the thrill of the final battle. He praised the film for its craft, but added that the series was treading water.[48]

Darcy Paquet writing on Korean Film Organisation website said, "Director Heo balances this perfectly, delivering what may well be the most dynamic and entertaining Roundup film yet."[49]
