Consider this your seasonal reminder that one of the baddest-ass actors of the last several years is on deck to return as a leading character favorite in the Beast Cop saga in The Roundup: No Way Out. We already have a few first looks at the star in the new film from director Lee Sang-yong and starring Don Lee, though hopefully a trailer won’t be too far off from now to stir things up.
Until then, if you’re new to the phenomenon and you’re wherever folks can get Tubi, then you’re just in luck. The first film, The Outlaws, has been on the free ad-supported platform for quite a long while now, and the sequel, The Roundup, only recently just arrived for fans to watch and enjoy. Kang Yoon-sung directed both titles with the sequel getting a limited theatrical U.S. release through Capelight last year following its festival run.
Actor Lee is joined by Yoon Kye-sang in The Outlaws for the story of a cop charged with keeping the peace in Seoul’s Chinatown district who clashes with a bloodthirsty gangland collector. The sequel, The Roundup, which became South Korea’s highest-grosser since the start of the pandemic, finds our protagonist crossing borders for a job only to stumble upon a blood trail left by an elusive killer, played by Son Suk-ku.
I’ll leave trailers for both titles below for good measure, and then you can head over here and here to enjoy them as you may.
