Força Bruta: Punição

The hit South Korean action series is back with its latest instalment "The Roundup: Punishment"... The plot is simple, but it does not need to be overly complex instead the biggest strength of the film is how approachable it is...

What allowed me to get so invested, though, was the acting. Don Lee as Detective Ma Seok-do just has a level of charm and charisma that is unparalleled. He gives his all when it comes to comedy, drama, and especially action. In conjunction with Don Lee's performance, we have Kim Mu-yeol as Baek. His performance is cold and calculated, and every time he is on screen, the tension levels increase to a boiling point. As the film's main villain, he is just perfect...

From the first impact to the final blow at the end. Every action scene is just a feast for the eyes. While the cinematography is anything but flashy, it also captures every punch, kick, and knife perfectly so that every action scene is easy to follow and gripping. While if there were more creative camera choices things would have made a bid difference...

Overall Everything combined allows The Roundup: Punishment to be a great time. It is up there as one the favourite films of the year so far & one can feel this is a film that anyone can enjoy. It is worth seeing on the big screen with popcorn in hand...
